Answer 15

choriocarcinoma, embryonal

Question 16

Yolk sac tumour will have raised…

Answer 16

AFP, LDH

Question 17

In which NEOC can you have raised AMH?

Answer 17

granulosa cell tumour
(inhibin also raised)

Question 18

How are NEOCs managed?

Answer 18

Surgery and chemotherapy
Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy if fertility preservation required

Question 19

Which medications should be stopped prior to conception in women with IBD?

Answer 19

Mycophenolate mofetil and methotrexate

Question 20

Drugs used for UC that are safe in pregnancy?

Answer 20

Sulfasalazine
Metronidazole short courses
Steroids

Question 21

Sulfasalazine MoA?

Answer 21

interferes with folate synthesis by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase
Therefore need to give high dose folic acid

Question 22

Risks to fetus with sulfasalazine use?

Answer 22

Bloody diarrhoea in infant, avoid >3g/day due to fetal nephrotoxicity, theoretical risk kernicterus in newborn

Question 23

What are the key challenges with use of biologics in IBD in pregnancy?

Answer 23

Minimal data
Infliximab crosses placenta at high rates in 3rd trimester which can cause immunosuppression in newborns for 6 months. Therefore often discontinued at 32w

Question 24

Considerations for labour in IBD?

Answer 24

Avoid episiotomy as can trigger perinanal disease

Answer 25

> 45 years at time of delivery

Question 26

Main risks of pregnancy in women with very advanced maternal age?

Answer 26

Caesarean section delivery 50%
Hypertension/ PET - especially in egg donation conception
GDM
Fetal growth restriction
Pre-term delivery
Placenta praevia
Higher risk of admission to ICU
