[GYNE] LE2 Flashcards
Q: Which of these ultrasound images shows a normal ovary?
A. Image A
B. Image B
C. Image C
a. A
(A) Normal; (B) Polycystic Ovary- normal size but w/
several follicles that failed to mature; (C) Hemorrhagic
Corpus Luteum
Q: Identify the structure shown in the image:
A. Phallus
B. Clitoromegaly
C. Ambiguous genitalia
D. Normal vulva
C. Ambiguous genitalia
Q: Which of these hysteroscopic images shows a normal endometrial cavity?
A. Image A – Myoma
B. Image B – Uterine septum
C. Image C – Normal cavity
C represents a normal endometrial cavity.
Q: Which of these images exhibits a positive Schiller test?
A. Image A
B. Image B
Image B
Rationale: A positive Schiller test shows pale yellow areas where abnormal cells fail to take up iodine, indicating possible dysplasia. Image B reveals such pale regions, while Image A stains uniformly (negative).
Q: Identify the image that shows a normal cervix after a Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) procedure:
A. Smooth, uniform surface without acetowhite lesions
B. Irregular staining or acetowhite areas
A. Smooth, uniform surface without acetowhite lesions
Rationale: A normal VIA result reveals no acetowhite changes. Acetowhite lesions suggest areas of potential dysplasia and warrant further evaluation.
Q: TM, a 38-year-old with 12 years of infertility, underwent hysterosalpingography (HSG). Which image explains her infertility?
A. Image A – No peritoneal spillage
B. Image B – Normal spillage
Image A – No peritoneal spillage
Rationale: Image A shows contrast stopping at the tubes without peritoneal spillage, indicating tubal blockage—a common cause of infertility. Image B shows normal tubal patency.
Q: Identify the anomaly shown in the image:
A. Normal hymen
B. Transverse vaginal septum
C. Imperforate hymen
D. Urethral prolapse
Imperforate hymen
Rationale: Imperforate hymen presents as a bulging, tense membrane covering the vaginal introitus, often with a bluish hue from retained menstrual blood (hematocolpos).
Q: BM, a 24-year-old G2P2 (2002), had her last menstrual period on September 27, 2022. Which ultrasound image best describes her endometrial lining?
A. Image A – Early proliferative
B. Image B – Late proliferative
C. Image C – Menstrual phase
D. Image D – Secretory phase
Image D – Secretory phase
Rationale: The secretory phase occurs after ovulation and features a thick, echogenic endometrium, which is consistent with Image D.
The menstrual cycle consists of different phases, each characterized by distinct changes in the endometrial lining:
Early proliferative phase: Thin endometrial lining, around days 5-9.
Late proliferative phase: Thickening of the endometrial lining, around days 10-14.
Secretory phase: Thick, echogenic endometrium, occurring after ovulation around days 15-28.
Identify the uterus:
A. Bicornuate uterus
B. Uterine didelphis
C. Septated uterus
D. Normal uterus
Bicornuate uterus
Rationale: A bicornuate uterus has a single cervix and a heart-shaped endometrial cavity with two horns due to incomplete fusion of the Müllerian ducts.
Identify the uterus:
A. Bicornuate uterus
B. Uterine didelphis
C. Septated uterus
D. Normal uterus
Normal uterus
Rationale: The uterus shows a single, smooth, and regular endometrial stripe without division or indentation, consistent with normal uterine anatomy.
Identify the uterus:
A. Bicornuate uterus
B. Uterine didelphis
C. Septated uterus
D. Normal uterus
Septated uterus
Rationale: A septated uterus has a fibrous or muscular septum dividing the endometrial cavity, best confirmed by hysteroscopy or 3D ultrasound. It can increase the risk of infertility and miscarriage.
Q: Identify the type of hymen shown in the image:
A. Virginal hymen
B. Cribriform hymen
C. Septate hymen
D. Parous hymen
Cribriform hymen
Rationale: A cribriform hymen contains multiple small openings rather than a single orifice. It may lead to menstrual difficulties and may require surgical intervention.
A. Vaginal agenesis
B. Transverse vaginal septum
C. Imperforate hymen
D. Longitudinal vagibal septum
B. Transverse vaginal septum
A. Bicornuate uterus
B. Septate uterus
C. Unicornuate uterus
D. Uterus didelphis
D. Uterus didelphis
Q: Colposcopy during pregnancy is difficult due to:
A. All of the above
B. Decidual changes in the epithelium can be confused with CIN
C. Blood supply to the cervix is increased
D. The vaginal walls tend to obstruct the view of the cervix
All of the above
Rationale: Colposcopy is more complex in pregnancy because of hormonal and anatomical changes such as decidualization, increased vascularity, and altered anatomy.
Q: A 7-year-old child presents with vaginal pruritus, dysuria, and constipation. A whitish lesion in a figure-8 distribution is noted. How will you confirm the diagnosis?
A. Scotch tape test
B. Vaginal culture
C. Vaginoscopy
D. Punch biopsy
Punch biopsy
Rationale: The presentation is classic for lichen sclerosus, which is confirmed by punch biopsy to evaluate characteristic histologic changes.
- Normal development of ovaries in a
female with absent uterus and vagina
indicates which of the following genetic
conditions?
A. Turner’s syndrome
B. Testicular feminizing syndrome
C. Mullerian agenesis
D. Gonadal dysgenesis
C. Mullerian agenesis
Explanation: In Mullerian agenesis, the ovaries develop normally, but the uterus and vagina are absent or underdeveloped, as this condition affects the Mullerian ducts, which form these structures.
- A 32 yo patient with regular menstrual
interval complains of inter menstrual
vaginal bleeding for the past 3 months.
Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a
thickened endometrium with a hyper
echoic mass within. What is the next
appropriate diagnostic exam?
(1 Point)
A. Reassure the patient
B. Sonohysterography
C. Hysterosalpingography
D. Repeat Transvaginal Ultrasound after three
months
B. Sonohysterography
Explanation: Sonohysterography provides a clearer view of the uterine cavity and is used to better evaluate abnormalities like endometrial polyps, which may be the cause of intermenstrual bleeding.
- In case of ambiguous genitalia, gender
assignment is best carried out through?
A. Parent’s choice of gender is considered
B. Phallic adequacy is followed
C. Observe until puberty
D. Karyotyping
D. Karyotyping
Explanation: Karyotyping is the most appropriate method to determine genetic sex, which can help guide gender assignment decisions in cases of ambiguous genitalia.
Q: All of the following are common indications for rectal examination in a female child EXCEPT:
A. Genital tract bleeding
B. Sexual abuse
C. Pelvic pain or mass
D. Foreign body
Sexual abuse
Rationale: While sexual abuse evaluation includes thorough genital examination, rectal exam is not routinely indicated for suspected abuse unless clinically necessary (e.g., trauma assessment).
- A 43 yo nulligravid consulted because
of abdominal enlargement. On
ultrasound, a large ovarian mass was
noted. Which of the ff characteristics of ovarian mass correlates with non-
malignant findings?
a. high resistance on Doppler velocimetry
b. cystic lesions with solid components
c. high color flow on Doppler ultrasound
d. echogenic sturctures protruding into the mass
A. High resistance on Doppler velocimetry
Explanation: High resistance on Doppler velocimetry correlates with benign masses because malignant masses typically have low resistance due to poorly formed new vessels.
- All of the following are the reasons for the susceptibility of a child to vulvar
infection EXCEPT.
A. The vaginal epithelium of prepubertal child has slightly acidic pH
B. No significant geographic barrier between the vagina and anus
C. Poor perineal hygiene
D. Epithelium of vulva and vagina lacks the protective effect of estrogen
A. The vaginal epithelium of prepubertal child has slightly acidic pH
Explanation: The slightly acidic pH of the vaginal epithelium in a prepubertal child acts as a protective mechanism, reducing susceptibility to infection.
- A 3 year old child was brought to the
clinic due to purulent vaginal discharge.
Microscopy revealed Trichomonas and
Neisseria gonorrhea infection. What is
the most likely diagnosis?
A. Physiologic discharge
B. Nonspecific vulvovaginitis
C. Foreign body
D. Sexual abuse
D. Sexual abuse
Explanation: The presence of Trichomonas and Neisseria gonorrhea, which are sexually transmitted pathogens, strongly indicates the possibility of sexual abuse in a child.
Q: What is an advantage of transvaginal ultrasound?
A. May be used for large pelvic masses
B. Done on a full bladder
C. Clearer pelvic images
D. Variations in pelvic structures are better seen
Clearer pelvic images
Rationale: Transvaginal ultrasound provides higher resolution images of pelvic organs because of the proximity of the probe to the structures, especially useful in evaluating the uterus and ovaries.
