Exam 3 Flashcards
CAM
CYSTIC ADENOMATOID MALFORMATION (CAM)
- Increase in terminal respiratory elements leading to development of cysts
- Involves part or all of a lung lobe
- Usually unilateral
Meningocele
MENINGOCELE - meninges only protrude
Cystic Hygromas
- BENIGN
- OF LYMPHATIC ORIGIN
- 80% ORIGINATE FROM POSTEROLATERAL PORTION OF NECK
Arnold Chiari malformation is a common type of what?
HYDROCEPHALUS
Choroid plexus cyst / Trisomy
- CYSTS IN THE CHOROID PLEXUS
- MAY BE TRANSIENT, AND RESOLVE BY END OF 2ND TRIMESTER
- 5% ARE ASSOCIATED WITH TRISOMY 18
- BILATERAL CYSTS >10 MM HAVE HIGHER ASSOCIATION WITH ABNORMAL KARYOTYPE
Neural Tube
?
Holoprosencephaly
- Failure of prosencephalon (forebrain) to divide into double lobes of cerebral hemispheres
- Thalami are fused
- Single common ventricle (horseshoe shaped)
- Caused by incomplete cleavage of prosencephalon
- Associated with facial deformities of the eyes, nose, and upper lip
Hydranencephaly
- Total or near total absence of cerebral hemispheres
- Mid-brain, basal ganglia, thalamus and cerebellum present
- Thought to be caused by bilateral blockage of the Internal Carotid Arteries
Dandy Walker
- Congenital brain malformation
- Characterized by incomplete formation of cerebellar vermis, dilation of fourth ventricle and enlargement of posterior fossa
- Thought to be result of obstruction of Foramina of Luschka and Magendie
Polyhydramnios associations
•IDIOPATHIC 60% OF TIME •MAY BE FETAL FACTOR Gastrointestinal tract abnormality •MAY BE MATERNAL FACTOR Maternal diabetes
Anencephaly
- Absence of cerebral hemispheres and overlying skull and scalp
- Only structures at base of brain present
- Can be seen on ultrasound transvaginally by 9-10 weeks
- Most common congenital anomaly of CNS
- Common in areas of world where spina bifida is common ( United Kingdom)
Causes of Pulmonary Hypoplasia
- Intrathoracic mass
- Abdominal mass
- Oligohydramnios
- Small thorax related to skeletal dysplasia
Amniotic band syndrome
Amniotic band syndrome is a rare condition caused by strands of the amniotic sac that separate and entangle digits, limbs, or other parts of the fetus.
micromelia
shortening of entire extremity
acromelia
distal extremity shortening (phalanges, metacarpals)
mesomelia
middle limb segment shortening (radius, ulna, tibia, fibula)
rhizomelia
shortening of proximal extremity (humerus, femur)
thanatophoric dysplasia
- Most common dysplasia that is lethal
* Unknown etiology
Normal AP measurement for placenta
1.5cm - 5cm anything above 6cm is abnormal
“double bubble” sign
Connection between duodenum and stomach too small causing a build up “bubble” to form on either side. Seen in ultrasound of stomach
What is the most common cause of Fetal Hydronephrosis?
ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ)
omphalocele vs gastroschisis
Gastroschisis less serious than omphalocele
limb/body wall complex
SEVERE FORM OF AMNIOTIC BAND SYNDROME
OR
EARLY VASCULAR ACCIDENT CAUSING DISRUPTIVE BODY WALL EVENTS
Anomalies may involve lateral body wall defects, thorax, abdomen, face, limbs and spine
Not compatible with life
Bochdalek hernia
the herniation of abdominal contents into the chest cavity because of an opening in the left posterolateral portion of the diaphragm
Prune Belly Triad
- Deficient abdominal musculature
- Cryptorchidism
- GU tract anomaly (PUV)
- DISTENDS FETAL ABDOMEN WITH WRINKLED APPEARANCE
Diaphragmatic hernias: Causes
CAUSE: improperly fused or formed diaphragm
Pseudoascites in the fetus
- Hypoechoic ring around abdominal wall may simulate ascites
* It represents the muscles of the abdominal wall
Posterior urethral valve obstruction
- Occurs in male fetuses
- Results when thin leaflets obstruct fetal urethra
L/S ratio
Lecithin sphingomyelin ration
Measures Lung Maturity
Microcephaly
- SMALL HEAD
- HC MEASURES > 3 STANDARD •DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL
- MENTAL RETARDATION
erythroblastosis fetalis
Erythroblastosis fetalis (non-immune fetal hydrops): •Erythroblastosis fetalis is hemolytic anemia in the fetus
Condition found specifically with Rh incompatibility
