Q

A mediastinal shift with dextrocardia is detected on a fetus. What other finding would support congenital diaphragmatic hernia?

A

Absent fetal stomach

28
Q

With tracheal atresia, the lungs will appear?

A

Enlarged with distended airways

29
Q

An absent stomach on a fetal AC is concerning for what?

Q

At 8 weeks, the gut herniates outside the fetal abdominal cavity, is this normal?

A

Yes, it will return to the abdomen by 12 weeks

A

MSAFP

33
Q

A small omphalocele containing bowel only has a higher association of what?

A

Chromosomal abnormality

34
Q

What 4 things need to be assessed when there is an omphalocele?

A
  1. Is there a membrane surrounding the contents?
  2. Is the cord at the center of the mass?
  3. What organs are present in the omphalocele?
  4. Is there ascites?
35
Q
