Q

what is placenta accreta

A

implantation of placenta in lower uterine segment

placenta overlies cervical os ( opening)

21
Q

clinical presentation of placenta accreta

A

third-trimester bleeding

22
Q

solution for placent accreat

A

requires delivery of fetus by cesarean section

23
Q

What is a common cause of still birth

A

placental abruption

24
Q

what is placental abruption

A

separation of placenta from decidua prior to delivery of fetus

25
Q

what is placenta accreta

A

improper implantation of placenta into myometrium with little or no intervening decidua

26
Q

clinical presentation of placenta accreta

A

difficult delivery of the placenta and postpartum bleeding

27
Q

If a patient has placenta accreta, what does she often require after

A

hysterectomy

28
Q

What is preeclampsia? when does it usually occur

A

pregnancy-induced hypertension, proteinuria, and edema

- usually 3rd trimester

29
Q

hypertension in preeclampsia can lead to what clinical symtpoms

A

headaches and visual abnormalities

30
Q

what is eclampisa

A

preeclampsia with seizures

31
Q

How is preeclampsia resolved

A

resolves after delivery

32
Q

what is HELLP?

A

preeclampsia with thrombotic microangiopathy involving the liver

  • Hemolysis
  • Elevated Liver enzymes
  • Low Platelets
33
Q

what would you do if your patient had either eclampisa or HELLP

A

immediate delivery

34
Q

sudden infant death syndrome?

A

death of a healthy infant ( 1month - 1year) without obvious cause

35
Q

when do you infants usually expire in sudden infant death syndrome

A

during sleep

36
Q

what are risk factors of sudden infant death syndrome

A

sleeping on stomach
exposure to cigarette smoke
prematurity

37
Q

what is hydatidiform mole

A

abnormal conception characterized by swollen and edematous villi with proliferation of trophoblasts

38
Q

what happens to the uterus and hormone levels in hydatidiform mole

A
  • uterus expands like normal pregnancy, but uterus is much larger
  • Beta-hCG much higher than expected for date of gestation
39
Q

when does hydatidiform mole present? what does it look like like?

A

second trimester as passage of grape-like masses through vaginal canal

40
Q

how is hydatidiform mole diagnoised

A
  • routine ultrasound in early first trimester
  • fetal heart sounds absent
  • ‘snowstrom’ appearance on ultrasound
41
Q

what is the genetics of partial hydatidiform mole

A

normal ovum fertilized by 2 sperm or
one sperm that duplicates chromosomes
69 chromosomes

42
Q

what is the genetics of complete hydatidiform mole

A

empty ovum fertilized by 2 sperm or
one sperm that duplicates chromosomes
46 chromosomes

43
Q

is fetal tissue present/absent in partial or complete hydatidiform mole

A

partial: present
complete: absent

44
Q

describe the villous edema in partial and complete hydatidiform mole

A

partial: some villi are hydropic, some normal
complete: most villi are hydropic

45
Q

describe the trophoblastic proliferation in partial and complete hydatidiform mole

A

partial: focal proliferation present around hydropic villi
complete: diffuse, circumferential proliferation around hydropic villi

46
Q

What is the risk of choriocarcinoma in partial and complete hydatidiform mole

A

partial: minimal
Complete: 2-3%

47
Q

how is hydatidiform mole treated? what need to be monitored and why

A

suction curettage
- subsequent Beta-hCH monitoring is important to ensure adequate mole removal and screen for development of choriocarcinoma

48
Q

Choriocarcinoma may arise as a complication of what

A

gestation ( spontaneous abortion, normal pregnancy, ro hydatidiform mole)
spontaneous germ cell tumor

49
Q

what type of choriocarcinomas respond well to chemotherapy

A

gestational pathway

- germ pathway do not respond well
