Fetal Environment And Maternal Complications Flashcards
A definitive placenta may not be seen until after:
10-12 weeks
Additional, smaller lobes separate from the main segment of placenta
Succenturiate lobe/ accessory lobe
- Abnormally shaped placenta, curled up edges.
- may lead to abruption, bleeding
Circumvallate placenta
Placenta thickness should not exceed:
4cm
Element of placenta closest to the fetus
Chorionic plate
Placental grading: uninterrupted chorionic plate and homogeneous
Grade 0
Placental grading: subtle indentations on the chorionic plate, small calcifications within placental substance
Grade 1
Placental grading: moderate indentations in chorionic plate with “comma-like” calcifications in placental substance
Grade 2
Placental grading: prominent indentations in chorionic plate that extend into the basal layer with diffuse echogenic and anechoic areas noted within the placental substance.
Grade 3
Placental grading:
Grade 0
Placental grading:
Grade 1
Placental grading:
Grade 2
Placental grading:
Grade 3
Placenta covering the internal os of cervix
Placenta previa
The placenta should be evaluated for previa after ___ weeks
20 weeks
Placenta covers internal os completely
Total/complete previa
Placenta partially covers internal os
Partial previa
Placenta lies at the edge of the internal os
Marginal previa
Placenta edge extends into lower uterine segment and is less than 2 cm from the internal os
Low lying placenta
Fetal vessels resting over the internal os
Vasa previa
Cord insertion associated with vasa previa:
Velamentous cord insertion
Premature separation of placenta from uterine wall
Placental abruption
Most severe placental abruption
Complete abruption
Type of placental abruption: development of retroplacental hematoma
Complete abruption
Type of placental abruption: only a few centimeters of separation
Partial abruption
Most common placenta hemorrhage
Subchorionic hemorrhage
Type of placental abruption: lies at the edge of the placenta
Marginal abruption/ Subchorionic hemorrhage
Abnormal adherence of the placenta to the myometrium
Placenta accreta
Invasion of placenta within the myometrium
Placenta increta
Penetration of placenta through serosa and possibly into adjacent organs
Placenta percreta
Most common placental tumor
Chorioangioma
Most common location of chorioangioma
Adjacent to umbilical cord insertion site
Most common abnormality of the umbilical cord
2VC/ single umbilical artery
Cord insertion: at the edge of placenta
Marginal
Marginal cord insertion aka
Battledore
Cord insertion: insertion into the membranes beyond the placental edge
Velamentous
Umbilical cord encircling the neck is termed
Nuchal cord
Umbilical cord forms from fusion of the the ___ and ____
Fuision of the yolk stalk and Vitelline duct/omphalomesenteric duct
Gelatinous material covering umbilical cord
Whartons jelly
Most common tumor of the umbilical cord
Hemangioma
Cystic mass within umbilical cord
Allantoic cyst
Allantoic cyst is most commonly located
Close to the fetal abdomen
Umbilical cord hemangiomas are most often located
Close to cord insertion to placenta
Maximum vertical pocket should measure atleast:
2cm

IUGR is defined as estimated fetal weight below the ___ percentile
Below the 10th percentile
Obese fetus is defined as having an EFW of ___ percentile
Over the 90th percentile
Sonographic findings of cervical incompetence:
- Cervical length <3cm
- funneling if cervix (V or U shaped)
Hydrops aka
Anasarca
Accumulation of fluid in atleast two body cavities
Hydrops
Prevention of RH isoimmunization:
RhoGAM
Maternal Rh sensitization, her first pregnancy will develop:
Normally, the second pregnancy will be the one that is attacked by her antibidies
Pregnancy induced hypertension and proteinuria
Preeclampsia
Postpartum uterus returns to its nongravid size ____ weeks after delivery
6-8 weeks after delivery
1 cause of painless bleeding in 3rd trimester
Placenta previa
Hydrops caused by rh incompatibility
Immune hydrops
Fetal hydrops caused by congenital anomalies and infections
Nonimmune hydrops
Most common pathological cause of painful bleeding in 3rd trimester
Placental abruption
Lab values of chorioangioma
Increased MSAFP
