chapter 58 Flashcards
Fetal crown-rump length should be within the range of
45 to 84mm
An NT shouldn’t measure above
3mm and the thicker the NT is greater the chance the fetus will be affected
Tongue protusion/ Enlarged tongue
Macroglossia which is found in the beckwith Wiedemann syndrome
should be suspected when seeing a small chin
macrognathia
Tumors such as _______ or a teratoma may disrupt the facial contour in the sagittal plane
epignathus
smallness of one side of the face is called
hemifacial microsomia
rare anomaly absence of the mandible causes the ears to form close together anteriorly towards the neck
Otocephaly
small eyes
Microphthalmia
absent eyes
Anophthalmia
Decreased distance between orbits. Included in a lot of other anomalies such as holoprosencephaly
Hypotelorism
Abnormally wide-spaced orbits
Hypertelorism
The NT is measured at
10-14 weeks
The maxillary prominences grow medially between
fifth and eighth week
causes fetal cranium to become abnormally shaped
Craniosynostosis
Associated with Holoprosencephaly, Microcephaly, Craniosynostose, Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Hypotelorism
occurs together when they both fuse
cleft lip and palate
Most common facial abnormalities
cleft lip with or without palate
occurs because of failure to fuse primary and secondary palate
Cleft lip
occurs when lateral palatine processes fail to fuse in midline
Cleft palate
Caused by incomplete merging of the two medial nasal prominences in the midline
Median cleft lip
Failure of maxillary prominence to merge with the lateral nasal swelling, with exposure of the nasolacrimal duct
Oblique facial cleft
Large gap in upper lip on modified coronal view; nose is flattened and widened; a premaxillary mass may be present
Complete bilateral cleft lip and palate
Incomplete fusion of maxillary prominence to the medial prominence on one side; modified coronal view
Unilateral complete cleft lip and palate
Nose is intact; modified coronal view of lip
Incomplete cleft
Thyromegaly
fetal goiter
Results from a malformation of the lymphatic system that leads to single or multiloculated lymph filled cavities around the neck
cystic hygroma
