Fetus Anomalies Flashcards
Meckel-Gruber Syndrome
Associated w/ occipital encephalocele & polycystic kidney disease
Arnold-Chiari malformation
Open spina bifida, lemon head, banana cerebellum, elevated AFP
VACTERL
Vertebral, Anorectal atresia, Cardia, Tracheoesophageal, Esophogeal, Renal, Limbs
Achondroplasia (Dwarfism)
Frontal bossing, macroglossia, macrocrania, trident hand (space between 3-4finger)
Common lethal dysplasia
Thanatophoric dysplasia
Thanatophoric dysplasia
Craniosynostosis (premature fusion of cranial sutures), cloverleaf skull shape
Trisomy 13 / Patua syndrome
Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) , holopro (fused thalami, monoventricle) , facial defects, omphalocele,
Most common non-lethal dysplasia
Heterozygous Achondroplasia
Amniotic band syndrome
causes fetal amputations, clefts facial defects,
Rhizomelia
Proximal limb is shorter than the distal limb
Duodenal atresia
“double bubble sign” fluid fill stomach and fluid filled prox duodenum
Omphalocele
midline, smooth, with covering of the intestines
Most common cause of oligohydramnios
Renal abnormalities
Most common level of obstruction for fetal hydronephrosis
UPJ
Turners syndrome / Monosomy X
Related to hydrops, cystic hygroma
Cordocentesis
PUBS samples fetal blood through cord
Most common type of multiple gestation
Dizygotic
Most commonly documented conjoined twins
Thoracopagus
Twin peak / Lamba sign is associated with
Di/Di
Egg division <4 days =
Di/Di
Egg division 4-8 days =
Mono/Di
Egg division >8 days =
Mono/Mono
The most likely etiology of painless vag bleeding in 2nd trimester
Placenta previa
Function of the umbilical vessels
Umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood to fetus
The most common tumor of placenta
Chorioangioma
Marginal AKA battledore cord insertion is
Cord inserted 2cm edge of placenta
Fetal contribution of the placenta
Chorion frondosum AKA chorionic plate
Velamentous / Membranous cord insertion is
Cord insertion is not directly into the placenta but along uterine wall within membranes
What vessel is evaluated to assess fetal well being
Umbilical artery = flows fetus to placenta
Which biometric measurement is most accurate for presence of IUGR
AC
Immune hydrops
Cause by Rh isoimmunization, materal blood is Rh NEGATIVE = erythroblastosis fetalis
Diabetes mellitus/ Pre-existing diabetes is related to
Fetal defects
Adenomyosis
Dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, menorrhagia(heavy periods) & multiparity
TORCH infections
can be associated with microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, micropthalmia, ventriculomegaly, hepatosplenomegaly
Edwards/ T18
Strawberry head, clenched fists, choroid plexus cyst, micrognathia, rocker-bottom feet, omphalocele, & single umbilical artery
