gestational pathology Flashcards
bening tumour of chorionic villi
cystic sweeling of chrionic villi and proiferation of chorionic epithelium involving only trophoblasts
hydatidiform mole
countrey with highest prevelance of hydatidiform moles
indonesia 1/200
what are complete moles in particular associated with
theca lutein cysts
hyperemesis gravidarum
hyperthyroidism - hCG
how do you treat hydatidiform moles
dilatio and cutterage and methotrexate
monitor with bhCG
what is a complete mole
all of the chorionic vili are neoplastic
what is a partial mole
normal villi amongst neoplastic villi
karyotype of complete vrs partial mole
complete - 46XX usually, can be 46XY
partial - 69 XXX, 69 XXY, 69 XYY
levels of hCG in complete vrs partial mole
> 100 000 in complete
< 100 000 in partial (still elevated)
which mole has increased uterine size for gestational age
complete
which mole has a risk of converting to a choriocarcinoma
complete not partial
which mole has fetal parts
partial
how does a complete mole come about
empty/enucleated ovum fertilized by single sperm that then duplicates
how does a partial mole come about
one proper egg and two sperm
risk of malignancy in complete vrs partial
15-20% malignant trophoblastic disease in complete
<5% in partial
apperance on u/s for complete vrs partial
complete - honeycombed uterus or clusters of grapes
snowstorm on u/s
partial - fetal parts
first trimester bleeding unlarged uterus hyperemisis pre-eclampsia hyperthyroidism
complete mole***
think about the symptoms each has
pre-eclampsia - hypertension and proteinuria
hyperthyroidism - hyper metabolism everywhere
vaginal bleeding abdominal pain increased hCG levels beyond normal for pregos no theca lutein cysts no hyperemesis
partial mole
define gestational hypertension/pregnancy-induced hypertension
BP > 140/90 mmHg AFTER 20th week of featstion
no pre-exisiting hypertension
no proteinuria
no end organ damage
how to treat gestational hypertension
alpha methyldopa
labetolol
hydralazine
nifedipine
ideal time to deliver in gestational hypertension
37 to 39 weeks of gestation
hypertension
proteinuria
dependent pitting oedema
pregnant women
pre-eclpamsia
what is hallmark for diagnosis of preeclampsia
new onset hypertnesion with either proteinuria or end organ dysfunction after 20th week fo gestation
new onset hypertension at < 20 weeks gestation
molar pregnancy suggestive
describe the pathogenesis of preeclampsia
abnormal placental spiral arteries – endothelial dysfunction – vasoconstrictors > vasodilatores – iscahemia
what are risk factors for preeclampsia
pre-exisiting hypertension
diabetes
bronic renal disease
autoimunne disorders
what are complications of preeclampsia
coagulopathy placental abruption uteroplacental insufficiency renal failure eclampsia
what is eclampsia
preeclampsia and maternal seizures
what are causes of fatalities in moms with eclampsia
stroke
intracranial hemorrhage
ARDS
