25
Physiologic herniation of bowel
the midgut elongates faster than the embryo is growing causing the midgut to herniate into the base of the umbilical cord at approx 11 weekis it descends into the fetal abdomen
26
Gestational sac size
mean sac size correlates closely with menstrual age during early pregnancy remains accurate through first 8 weeks of gestatoin
27
Crown rump length
measurement used as a determinant of first trimester gestatoinal dates produces dates plus or minus 5 to 7 days most accurate method through 12 weeks gestation
28
Nuchal translucency
normal first trimester popcket of fluid along the fetal back measruement of this space is a component of first trimester risk assessment
29
Nasal bone
absence of nasal bone in late first trimester associated with trisomy 21 is an indicator of Down Syndrome
30
Subchorionic hemorrhage
most common type of first trimester bleeding result from the implantation of the fertilized ovum into the endometrial wcavity and myometrial wall
31
Incomplete abortion
loss of pregnancy with products of conception remaining in the uterus
32
Missed abortion
a miscariage that is missed when a fetus dies, but the body does not recognize the pregnancy loss or expel the pregnancy tissue
33
Anembryonic pregnancy
blighted ovum gestatoinal sac in which the embryo fails to develop or stops developing at such an early stage that it is imperceptible by ultrasound
34
Molar pregnancy
abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic cells
35
Gestational trophoblastic disease
proliferative disease of the trophoblast that occurs after normal conception it represents a spectrum of disease from relatively benign form called hydatidiform mole to a more malignat form called invasive mole or choriocarcinoma
36
Normal cardiac activity
heart rate between 90 and 170 bpm
37
Bradycardia
heartbeat less than 90 bpm
38
Tachycardia
heartbeat more than 170 bpm
39
Oligohydramnios
insufficient amount of amnionic fluid in the sac
40
Growth restriction
growth delay of the embryo or gestational sac chromosome abnormalites such as triploid have been associtated with this
41
Ectopic pregnancy
pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterine cavity
42
Pseudogestational sac
gestatoinal sac that appears along with an ectopic pregnancy
43
Heteroectopic
one pregnancy in the uterus and another outside of the uterus
44
Interstitial pregnancy
pregnancy that occurs right where the fallopian tube attaches at the cornua of the uterus very dangerous situation could rupture and cause mother to bleed out
45
Cervical pregnancy
a pregnancy that occurs in the cervix 1 in 16000
46

partial or complete absence of the cranium
48
Anencephaly
congenital absence of the brain and cranial vault with the cerebral hemispheres missing or reduced to small masses
49
Cephalocele
midline cranial defect in which there is herniation of the brain and meninges
50
Iniencephaly
rare lethal anomaly of cranial development whoe primary abnormalites include 1 a defect in the occiput involving the foramen magnum 2 retroflexoin of the spine where the fetus looks upward with its occipital cranium directed toward the lumbar spine 3 open spinal dects
51
Ventriculomegaly
dilatoin of the ventricular system without enlargment of the cranium
52
Holoprosencephaly
malformatoin sequence that results from failure of the prosencephalon to differentiate into cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricles between 4 8 weeks gestation
53
Dandy-walker malformation
cystic dilation of the 4th ventricle with dysgenesis of complete agenesis of the cerebellar vermis and frequently hydrocephaly
54
Spina bifida
occurs when neural tube fails to close after 6 weeks gestatoin appearacne includes spinal irregularitesor bulging within the posterior contour of the fetal spine
55
Abdominal wall defects
omphalocele gastroschisis limb body wall complex
56
Obstructive uropathy
results in a large urinary bladder that may extend out of the pelvis and into the fetal abdomen
57
Cystic hygroma
most common abnormalites seen sonographically in the first trimester seen early in fetal life have a high association with chromosomal abnormalities
58
Turners syndrome
most common karyotype abnormality non lethal endochrine disorder cause by failure of the ovaries to respond to pituitary hormone
59
Umbilical cord cysts
cysts ranging in size from 2 to 7.5 mm found between weeks 8 and 12 gestation
60
Corpus luteum cyst
most common ovarian mass secrete progesterone necessary to preserve the embryo measure less than 5cm and does not contain septations
61
Uterine fibroids
common throughout pregnancy may increase in size throughout first trimester and early 2nd because of estrogen stimulatoin
62
Diamnitoic
multiple pregnancies with two anmiotic sacs
63
Dichorionic
multiple pregnancies with two chorionic sacs
64
Monoamniotic
multiple pregnancies with one anmiotic sacs
65
Monochorionic
multiple pregnancies with one chorionic sacs
66
Zygote
the fertilized ovum is called this before implantation occurs
67
Chorionic villi sampling
invasive diagnostic genetic testing that involves sampling zygotic tissue cells from developing placental tissue
68
Hematopoiesis
the formation of RBC's starts in the yolk sac and then moves to the liver
69
IUP
Intra Uterine Pregnancy
70
MSD
Mean Sac Dimension
71

born with abdomenal contents outside the body without a membrane
72

born with abdomenal contents outside the body with a membrane
