1 cm
A partial absence of the cranium is called:
Acrania
AFP is secreted by the
Yolk sac and liver
Beta hCG levels plateau at _____________ weeks
9-11
Cerebellar hypoplasia with herniation into the spinal canal describes:
Type 4 Arnold Chiari malformation
head end of the neural tube
Rostral neuropore

Cranial anatomy is routinely visualized after how many gestatonal weeks?
12-14
Define brachycephaly
Short broad head due to premature fusion
Define dolichocephaly
Long narrow head
During a sonographic examination, a wide high third ventricle, teardrop-shaped ventricle, a widened ventricular atria, absent cavum septi pellucid, and a sunburst appearance of the gyri and suli were imaged in the fetal brain. What malformation do these findings support?
Agenesis of the corpus callosum
During the sonographic examination on a first trimester pregnancy, a crescent-shaped complex fluid collection images between the gestational sac and the uterus. What is the most likely differential
Subchorionic hemorrhage
Identify the term describing the abiltiy of embryonic cells to differentiate into any cell type
Pluripotent
Identify the type of ectopic pregnancy that is surrounded by less than 5 mm of myometrium.
Intramural
Lissencephaly is an absence or paucity of gyri resulting in the characteristic appearance of:

Clubfoot
most studied artery in the fetal brain is the
MCA

abnormal opening between the right and left atrium
ASD
Which anatomy images on the four chamber view?
RA
RV
