Q

First step in management of woman of reproductive age with abdominal pain? BP = 110/80

A

Hemodynamically stable thus = BHCG !!

If deemed pregnant then TVUSS
If not then other imaging to rule out other causes. Also need to know if pregnant to use other imaging modalities

Unstable = straight to resus, laparoscopy if ectopic suspected f

Q

38 year old. Amenorrhea 3 months. Bitemporal hair thickening, coarse hair on upper lip. Abdominal bloating and cramping. Large pelvic mass extending through left lower quadrant. No tenderness or ascites. Urine pregnancy test negative. Diagnosis?

A

Serotoli leydig cell tumour (deepening of voice, male pattern baldness, increased muscle bulk and clitoromegaly may be present and help distinguish from PCOS)

Not PCOS as you would have bilateral ovarian symptoms and symptoms happen over a longer period

Not struma ovarii as you have hyperthyroidism not virilisation

Choriocarcinoma = positive pregnancy test

Q

Pregnant woman, shortness of breath doing household chores or walking 2/6 systolic murmur. 2+ pitting Edema. Bloods show respiratory alkalosis? Next step in management?

A

Provide reassurance only

Chronic hyperventilation occurs in pregnancy due to elevated progesterone and gives the sensation of dyspnea

Murmur = physiological, edema is normal due to urterine compression of vena cava

Patient did not have pulmonary embolism as PaO2 was high !! And you would expect a low one/hypoxia Pe

Patient did not have heart failure as auscultation of the lungs was clear with no crackles

Q

managment of pregnant patient with no increase in dilation from 8cm in 4 hours?

A
  • Proceed to ceasarean delivery!! -> patient is in active phase arrest (active phase is 6cm - 10cm)
  • oxytocin is used to enhance contractions if less than 200 montevideo units, it is used in protracted labour eg rate of <1cm every 2 hours, but NOT arrested

prostaglandin is just used for cervical ripening in early labour induction

  • operative vaginal delivery only an option at 10cm dilation eg expedite delivery in cat 3 tracings, maternal exhaustion etc

Q

describe breast cyst management pathway

A

breast ultrasound is 1st line imaging if <30 years
helps determine if complex cyst (thick walled, septated, solid and cystic components) or simple cyst (thin walled, anechoic/fluid filled, no echogenic debris or solid components)

  1. complex = biopsy
  2. simple:
    - asymptomatic simple cyst = observe
    - Tender simple cyst = FNA for pain relief. if non bloody aspirate and the cyst resolves no additional management. if it doesnt resolve = biopsy and additional imaging!!!. If Bloody aspirate = biopsy and additional imaging.

27
60 year old woman, large ovarian mass and post menopausal bleeding. endometrial hyperplasia with no atypia on biopsy. most likely diagnosis?
granulosa cell tumour (seen in a granny!) -> endometrial hyperplasia and cancer risk due to unopposed estrogen secretion by tumour!! histology = call exner bodies/cells in rosette pattern emryonal carcinoma and yolk sac tumour = young people!! different symptoms note!! when granulosa cell tumour occurs in young child = precocious puberty = make them a granny/adult
28
management of pregnant patient, history of hypertriglyceridemia. now presenting with pancreatitis like symptoms. RUQ ultrasound normal. next step in management?
Lipid panel!! pregnant women, particularly those with history of high triglycerides are at increased risk of triglyceride induced pancreatitis not ERCP as this is used to for gallstones and in case of gallstones, ultrasound will likely not be normal -> it may show biliary tree dilatation, biliary sludge, some gallstones etc

management of patient with hypothyroidism wishing to become pregnant?
increase levothyroxine dose when patient becomes pregnant
30
treatment for gonorrhea and chlamydia?
ceftriaxone and doxycycline which covers both pathogens

inadequate dose of anti d immunoglobulin given after first pregnancy
33
woman that has been trying to concive for years reports morning sickness, abdominal distension and positive pregnancy test however hosptial pregnancy tests are negative and ultrasound shows thin endometrial stripe most likely diagnosis?
pseudocyesis NOT a missed abortion as ultrasound will show an unviable fetus. morning sickness would have resolved and pregnancy test will be positive
34
treatment for asymptomatic bacteuria in pregnancy?
nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin!! or trimethroprim sulfomexazole - drug depends on gestation!!!. eg at 10 weeks can use fosfomycin trimethorprim sulfomexaxzole avoided in first semester as it interferes with folic acid metabolism

39
a pregnant patient with fever, nausea, vomiting and RUQ pain most likely has? management?
acute appendicitis!! urgent surgery!! -> risk of fetal demise differentiate from Preeclampsia as in appendicitiis peritoneal signs (rebound, guarding) may be present and fever is present if it was placental abruption -> uterine tenderness and uterine tachysystole (decelerations with uterine contractions) would occur ureteral obstruction -> colicky symptoms, abnormal urinalysis
40
trichomonas treatment?
meTRonidazole!! - also for BV not doxycycline!!!
41
a post partum patient with fever, leukocytosis and right sided pain most likely has?
acute appendicitis!!
42
amennorrhea of at least 3 months (secondary amenorrhea), after a negative pregnancy test, what is the next step in management?
FSH, TSH, and PROLACTIN! to rule out HPO disfunction if patient described has a bit of acne that could be normal AND acne worsens after stopping OCP
43
irregular menses, hirsutism, acne AND elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone is seen in?
non classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia!!! (partial deficiency of 21 hydroxylase activity) mild so electrolytes and bp normal
44
post hysterectomy right sided back pain costovertebral angle tenderness urinalysis is normal most likely diagnosis? other way it may present?
hydronephrosis -> due to ureteral injury during surgery!!!! and resulting outflow obstruction also seen post c section can have abdominal distension(pain and bloating), large volume of intraabdominal fluid on ultrasound, eatery vaginal discharge due to overflow, and fever and nausea due to peritoneal irritation normal urinalysis as only one ureter affected conduct renal ultrasound
45
management for a woman in labour with an active genital herpes lesion?
c section!!
46
post partum 10 days, severe headache + seizure + papilledema + history of DVT in mother. normal BP normal CT scan next step in management?
do MRI of brain with MR VENOGRAPHY (concerned for Cerebral venous thrombosis!) CT normal in 30% of cases may also present with stroke AVOID thrombolytics! Risk of intracerbral hemorrhage due to thin walled venous structures treatment = heparin
47
Vaginal spotting and mild cramping common in first trimester. benign in patient with closes cervix and intrauterine normal gestation
48
post partum woman with irregular vaginal bleeding, enlarged uterus, pulmonary symptoms and multiple infliltrates on CXR. next step in diagnosis?
BHCG -> most likely choriocarcinoma can occur after normal pregnancy and spontaneous abortion!! as well as molar pregnancy pulmonary symptoms = metastasis!! -> lungs is most common site p.e would not explain bleeding or pulmonary symptoms
49
in choriamonionaitis after broad spectrum antibiotics, what is the next step in management?
labour augumentation NOT c section -> this is reserved for obstetric indications eg non reassuring fetal ctg, breech presentation, prior uterine surgeries etc. fetal tachycardia alone is not sufficient to warrant this
50
pre eclampsia can present with severe features (low plateletets, low hemoglobin or elevated wbcc due to inflammation) when eclampsia occurs with this (new onset siezures) how do you manage?
magnesium sulfate AND prompt delivery
51
what is the criteria for second stage arrest of labour? causes?
3 or more hours of pushing in primagravida 2 or more hours of pushing in multip 1. cephalopelvic disproportion -> suggested by moulding and caput 2. fetal malposition 3. inadequate contractions = <200 montevideo units over 10 minutes 4. maternal exhaustion
52
amniotic fluid embolism presents with resp failure (profound hypoxia may cause siezure), shock/hypotension and dic in labour or postpartum period 1st step in management?
intubation! with mechanical ventilation!! -> correct hypoxemia after that: vasopressors for BP, transfusion to correct DIC
53
effect of pregnancy on blood pressure? diagnosis of pregnant woman at 14 weeks with BP reading of 138/92?
decreases! Chronic hypertension as diastolic blood pressure is >/= 90!
54
most common risk factors for pprom?
genital tract infection - asymptomatic bacturia, BV history of pprom (also antepartum bleeding)
55
next step in a patient with history of lichen sclerosis and a new vulval lesion (white firm plaque) - > next step in management?
vulval biopsy!!! to evaluate for vulval cancer. as lichen sclerosis is a risk factor if benign lichen sclerosis found -> continue high dose corticosteroids! malignant but non invasive -> imiquimod or laser ablative therapy malignant and invasive -> excision vulval cancer symptoms -> pruritus, plaque/ulcer, bleeding
56
repeat screening for stis in 3rd trimeter eg 28 weeks is done for which pregnant woman?
age <25 prior sti high risk sexual activity
57
distinguish between mullerian agenesis 5 alpha reductase deficiency
mullerian agenesis -> female ranging testosterone levels!! normal pubic hair!!. 46 XX. breasts present. absent uterus cervix and upper vagina BUT ovaries present!! 5 alpha reductase -> virilazation at puberty (clitoremegaly, acne, male pattern hair development) will be present!! absent development of breasts!! due to testosterone receptors. 46 XY. normal pubic hair!!. male ranging testosterone levels (5 alpha reductase cant convert testosterone to DHT so undescended testes and phenotypically female but male internal genitalia) Androgen insensitivtiy syndrome -> breast development due to aromoatization of testosterone to estrogen!!.(think of this one as insensitive so you do the things you wouldnt normally do like grow breasts - the androgen receptor in the breast is not working so it doesnt inhbit breast growth) minimal pubic hair!! due to insensitivity to androgen. 46 XY. male ranging testosterone levels. No clitoromegaly here/virilization as the testosterone receptor is non functional!! No female internal organs so no uterus or ovaries
58
intrauterine fetal demise with fetus showing multiple limb fractures and a hypoplastic thoracic cavity is most likely?
type 2 osteogenesis imperfecta
59
contraindications to COCP?
increased VTE risk including smoking increased cardiovascular risk including uncontrolled hypertension, stroke, ischemic heart disease, migraine with aura. (cocp can worsen htn and thus increase risk of MI and stroke). medical conditions negatively affected by increased estrogen - active breast cancer, active liver disease (acute hepatitis, liver cancer)
60
post partum initial couple of months anxiety and excessive worry about child followed by fatigue, weight gain despite normal exercise, constipation exam -> bradycardia, lower extremetiy edema most liklely diagnosis? next step in management?
postpartum thyroiditis -> brief hyperthyroid then hypo then euthyroid. condition associated with anti-tpo antibodies. goitre may be present thyroid function studies! postpartum thyroiditis and postpartum depression may have overlapping symptoms. PT should be excluded first also note: painless/ silent thyroiditis is similar to postpartum thyroiditis however no association to pregnancy so is not diagnosed within 1 year of pregnancy
61
7 year old precocious puberty and ovarian mass. diagnosis?
granulosa cell tumour a dysgerminoma doesnt cause this and they differentiate into scincitiotrophoblasts so secrete lactate dehydrogenase and b-hcg
62
emergency c section, 2 days later fever of 38.3 uterine is soft and fundus is tender. headeache and fatigue what intervention would have been most effective at preventing this presentation?
preoperative antibiotics patient has postpartum endometritis = fever >24 hours postpartum + uterine tenderness offensive lochia may also occur and headahce/malaise
63
pregnant woman with 24 hour urinary output of 5.5 after an intake of 3. specific gravity 1.001 all other labs normal what is the diagnosis?
Diabetes insipidus polyuria/urinary output> 3. AND specific gravity aka urine density <1.006 indicating dilute urine
64
37 weeks pregnant no prenatal care rupture of membranes 2 days ago which is now meconium stained in active labour 6 cm next step in management?
administer penicillin!!! prophylaxis as GBS status uknown and she has rupture of membreanes for >18 hours
65
How to interpret the quadruple screen test for 1. downs syndrome 2. Trisomy 18/Edwards 3. neural tube/abdominal wall defect
1. the child with down syndrome says HI! = ELEVATED HCG and inhibin A . (others low). thick of it as excited to say hi 2. Edward is a low HEAp = low hcg, low estradiol, low afp 3. neural tube defect = elevated AFP only multiple pregnancy increases afp due to more fetal tissue present.
66
why does providing obstetricians with clinical performance data compared to national benchmarks help improve quallity of care?
data driven feedback is very effective!!
67
describe treatment of moderate or severe menopause
contraindications to estrogen eg breast cancer, VTE = Paroxetine (an ssri) no contraindications = estrogen only HRT if no uterus, estrogen + progesterone if uterus
68

renal insuffficiency
69
oxytocin toxicity causes?
SIADH
70
a low lying placenta with myometrial thinning and numerous lacunae indictes what condition? name a serious potential complication
placenta accreta postpartum hemorrhage
71
ace/arb use in pregnancy fetal complication vs presentation of ARPKD
ACE/or ARB -> bilateral UNDERDEVELOPED kidneys and oligohydramnios ARPKD -> bilaterally ENLARGED polycystic kidneys and oligohydramnios
72
describe options for contraception after a baby and the side effects/ positive effects
medroxyprogesterone injection - induces anovulation (decreased menstural bleeding) by high levels of progesterone which is appetite stimulant -> weight gain, mood changes!! copper IUD -> increased menstrual bleeding and dysmennorrhea progestin-releasing IUD -> locally acting not systemic so decreased risk of weight gain, mood changes. decreases heavy menstrual bleeding! by inducing ammenorrhea. but the bleeding may be irregular COCP - 1st line for premenstrual syndrome progestin only methods can be initiated at any time after delivery whilst COCP only after 6 weeks due to VTE risk
73
when would you screen a pregnant patient for diabetes at 1st prenatal visit (eg at 10 weeks)? What test is used to screen?
obesity (BMI>/=30)!!!!! + at least one of: 1. prior macrosomic infant = birth weight >/= 4kg!! 2. PCOS -> suggested by irregular menstrual cycles 3. age >/= 40 4. prior GDM 5. family history of type 2 diabetes 1-hr 50g GCT NOT fasting blood glucose level gct >/= 200 is diagnostic
74
what is the amniotic fluid index for oligo and polyhdramnios?
oligo = /= 24 cm
75
what is the pathology behind PCOS?
failure of follicle maturation and oocyte release
76
Tamoxifen is used as an adjuvant treatment for breast cancer and prevention of breast cancer in high risks patients. what are the side effects? (T amoxifen T reats breast cancer)
Hot flashes! = most common!! "Hot tamale" VTE! - "hot tamale -> think red hot sauce" Endometrial cancer NOT ovarian. (a serm) uterine sarcoma
77
Raloxifene is used for postmenopausal osteoporosis. and prevention of breast cancer in what are the side effects?
hot flushes and VTE
78
postpartum endometritis antibiotic regimen?
Ceftriaxone + clindamycin
79
hypothalamic dysfunction eg due to intense exercise is unlikely to be the cause of infertility in a woman with regular menses. POI = amennorrhea hyopthyroidism also = irregular menses
80
what is uterine synechia? causes? presentation
aka ashermans syndrome -> endometrial scarring and intrauterine adhesions -> light menses/ammenorrhea d&c risk factor
81
what are the contraindications to these drugs used for PPH 1. methylergonovine 2. Carboprost 3. tranexamic acid
1. hypertensive patients 2. asthma 3. caution in hypercoagulable conditions (note oxytocin first line and misoprostol second line. both have note contraindications)
82
an older woman with vulvar pain and pruritus erythematus vulvar lesions with white border erythematus vagina that is stenotic oral ulcers what is the diagnosis?
lichen planus! a different variant presents as just small puritic papules with purple hue
83
patient with rupture of membranes resulting in bright red amniotic fluid. sinusoidal pattern on ctg? what is the most likely cause of this pattern? management?
fetal blood loss. sinusoidal pattern = fetal anemia blood loss in this case = ruptured vasa praevia urgent c section -> risk of fetal hypoxemia it is a cat 3 tracing!!!
84
36 year old, worsening pelvic pressure and dyspareunia pelvic mass that extends to umbilicus, it is mobile with several palpable protuberances what is the diagnosis? why is it not ovarian cancer?
palpable protuberances = irregular uterine contour extending to umbilicus = severe uterine enlargement mass effect may cause pelvic pressure, pain with intercourse, urinary frequency, constipation ovarian cancer = FIXED mass due to invasive spread into nearby structures. AND fluid wave on examination! (ascites)
85
sudden severe unilateral lower abdominal pain. ultasound shows thin walled ovarian cyst. free fluid in the pelvis what is the most likely diagnosis? management?
ruptured ovarian cyst! -> due to free fluid hemodynamically stable with no signs of infection -> observation and reassurance!! hemodynamically unstable eg continued bleeding from ruptured cyst -> cystectomy
86
post partum endometritis symptoms?
fever uterine tenderness offensive lochia
87
name the causes of secondary post partum hemorrhage (PPH >24 hours!!! after delivery)
1. RPC - heavy bleeding +/- uterine atony. intraamniotic infection is a risk factor!!! as causes adherence of placental membrane. differentiate from retained placenta with causes primary PPH 2. placental site subinvolution -heavy bleeding, uterine atony 3. postpartum endometritis - intramniotic infection is risk factor!!. but expect fever, uterine tenderness etc
88
fetal ultrasound shows? edematous scalp single deepest pocket of amniotic fluid is 12 cm echolucent abdominal fluid (ascites) no other dismorphic features most likely diagnosis?
hydrops fetalis due to alpha thalessemia major!!! achondroplasia would present with hydrops fetalis + macrocephaly + shortened long bones turners syndrome could present with hydrops fetalis but also cystic hygroma + nuchal thickening
89
effect of pregnancy on serum blood urea, creatinine and nitrogen? explain it
decreases these. in pregnancy you increase cardiac output to prepare for blood loss in delivery. so increased blood flow to kidneys and increased GFR and urine protein excretion note! pregnancy is associated with leukocytosis possibly due to inflammation
90
risk factors for cervical stenosis? symptoms?
LEEP/conization dsymennorrhea/amennorrhea -> impedement of menstruation blood flow infertility -> sperm cant travel up
91
dyspareunia painful periods cervical motion tenderness laterally displaced cervix what is the most likely diagnosis?
endometriosis!! -> fibrosis and adhesions causes pelvic anatomy distortion -> lateral displacement of cervix PID -> can cause dyspareunia and cervical motion tenderness BUT cervix will appear inflamed (cervicitis) and fever would likely be present!!
92
periventricular intracranial calcifications intrahepatic calcifications fetal growth restriction maternal flu like symptoms from first son who got it in nursery most likely diagnosis?
CMV
93
what is the criteria fro choriamnionitis!!! note the presence of this criteria would indicate urgent c section delivery!!
maternal fever + at least one of: 1. fetal tachycardia!! >160 per min - may just be this present!! 2. maternal leukocytosis!! 3. purulent amniotic fluid
94
management of asymptomatic patient with placenta preavia at early gestation?
routine obstetric care! -> 90% cases resolve spontaneously repeat ultrasound done in 3rd trimester ie >28 weeks gestation to check for resolution
95
when is a doppler ultrasound used in pregnancy screening?
for surveillance of fetal growth restriction = estimated fetal weight <10th percentile it is an ultrasound of the umbilical artery
96
prolapsed fibroid symptoms?
labor like pain due to cervical dilatation
97
menopausal woman with dysuria, urgency incontinence, nocturia and recurrent utis reduced vulvar elasticity, labia retraction patchy erythema of vagina not sexually active most likely diagnosis? pathology?
genitourinary syndrome of menopause!!! OR atrophic vaginitis other possible symptoms: vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, vaginal bleeding, pelvic pressure pathology = estrogen deficiency!!
98
management of patients with asymptomatic endometriosis?
reassurance and observation
99
placental abruption in previous pregnancy. had a c section now presents at 38 weeks gestation with severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and abdomen has an irregular mass history of smoking and cocaine use what risk factor likely contributed to presentation?
PRIOR UTERINE SURGERY!!! IRREGULAR MASS -> UTERINE RUPTURE = protruding fetal mass not seen in placental abruption
100
complications of hyperemesis gravidarum and inappropriate weight gain or underweight
fetal growth restriction preterm delivery
101
8 months pregnant painless vaginal bleeding normal ctg smokes irregular contractions most likely diagnosis?
placenta praevia placental abruption = painful AND ctg will show decelerations decelerations also seen in uterine rupture
102
management of patient requesting a c section in absence of maternal or fetal indications?
refer patient to another O&G specialist
103
irregular menstrual bleeding every 60 days heavy weight = 120kg -> pay attention to kg weight! everything else normal most likely cause?
anovulation due to obesity and abnormal uterine bleeding due to obesity
104
42 year old fatigue and hot flushes! cranky and intermittent bloating menses regular every 30 days LMP 3 weeks ago smoker most likely condition? next best step in management?
premenstrual syndrome! A symptom diary = 1st step!!! then = SSRI COCP can be used but avoid with contraindications!! -> >/= 35 years, smoking
105
define preeclampsia what is the criteria for preeclampsia with severe features?
new HTN >/= 20 weeks + proteinuria OR signs of renal dysfunction. you don't need symptoms eg headache to have preeclampsia! severe = creatinine >1.1 OR Transaminases >2x normal !
106
patient with preeclampsia pulse is 53/min an episode of emesis what is best next step in management?
