GYN FINAL (past tests) Flashcards
Which term defines the physiologic process of growing new vessels?
Angiogenesis
The doppler measurement takes the highest systolic peak minus the highest diastolic peak divided by the highest systolic peak.

Where does the uterine artery anastomoses with the ovarian artery?
At the uterine cornua
Select the normal flow velocity in the nongravid uterine artery.
5 to 10 cm/sec
Which of the following describes spectral doppler flow found surrounding the corpus luteal cyst?
Low-resistance flow
What is a vascular plexus of arteries and veins without an intervening capillary network?
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
Select the term describing the increase in adrenal gland activity seen at the onset of puberty.
Adrenarche

White blood cell (WBC)
Which of the following describes hydrometra in the pediatric patient?
Anechoic fluid collection within the uterus
What pathology demonstrates prominent arterial flow?
Dysgerminoma
Select the term describing the failure of a woman to ovulate.
Anovulation
Choose the definition for a blood-filled ovarian cyst resulting from endometrial implants.
Endometrioma
Which of the following is a fluid-filled mass located in the cervical canal?
Nabothian cyst
Which of the following is a focal area of decreased echogenicity within the myometrium?
Leiomyoma
Select the physiologic ovarian cyst.
Theca Lutein
Which of the following is an acquired condition associated with polycystic ovaries?
Cushing syndrome
Which of the following describes the sonographic appearance of a mature teratoma?
Echogenic foci with fluid/solid levels
A 35 year-old woman presents with an acute onset of pain bloating and a palable mass. During the sonographic examination, a unilocular mass with low-level debris and thin wall is observed. What is the most likely differnential for these findings?
Serous cystadenoma
An 8 year-old presents to the emergency department with a history of early onset of puberty, increasing abdominal girth, breast tenderness, and right sided pain. During the sonographic examination, a unilateral, multiloculated, 8 cm mass with low-level internal echoes images. What is the most likely differnetial for these findings?
Granulosa cell tumor
Select the most common benign ovarian neoplasm.
Cystic teratoma
Identify the sonographic appearance of the endometrium in the patient with Asherman syndrome.
Whorled internal architecture of a mass
A full bladder can cause suboptimal angles for doppler in the uterine artery. (T/F)
True
Suspicion for vascular occlusion occurs when a low resistance pattern is detected where flow resistance is normally seen. (T/F)
False
Normal arterial flow is seen as:
alternating quick uptake systolic peak followed by a lower diastolic flow
The functional layer of the endometrium is supplied by the straight artery. (T/F)
False
An arteriovenous malformation :
is typically acquired through surgery or trauma
The best description of classic ovarian torsion is
an enlarged, edematous ovary with multiple small peripheral follicles and little or no vascular flow
Complex masses of the pelvis are:
difficult to discriminate because benign and malignant characteristics can be similar
