After 8 days of conception

104
Q

Within the first three days of conception

107
Q

What is fetus papyraceous mean?

A

If the fetus dies after reaching a size too large for resorption, the fetus becomes flattened from loss of fluid and most of its soft tissue

108
Q

What are dyzygotic twins?

A

Fraternal twins -Arise from two separately fertilized ova -Each ovum implants separately in the uterus and develops its own placenta

109
Q

What are monozygotic twins?

A

Identical -Arise from a single fertilized egg, which divides, resulting in 2 genetically identical fetuses -Very high-risk situation (increased risk for twin to twin transfusion) -Depending on whether fertilized eggs divide early or late, there may be 1 or 2 placentas, chorions and amniotic sacs

138
Q

What is pulmonary hypoplasia?

A

Reduction in lung volume resulting in small, inadequately developed lungs Most commonly occurs from prolonged oligo or secondary to small thoracic cavity

139
Q

If you see pleural fluid, you should be looking at what structure very carefully?

A

Lung, Heart, and Diaphragmatic lesions.

140
Q

A big pleural effusion could cause ____.

A

Impairment of the lungs, which may result in pulmonary hypoplasia

141

142
Q

Normal embryologic herniation of the bowel allows what to occur?

A

it allows the abdominal cavity to catch up to the midgut. The midgut grows fast than the abdominal cavity. Intestines return by 11th or 12th week gestation.

143
Q

What is omphalocele?

A

Congenital anterior abdominal wall defect in which abdominal organs (Liver, bowel, stomach) are atypically located within the umbilical cord and protrude outside the wall; develops when there is a midline defect of the abdominal muscles, fascia, and skin; covered in a membrane consisting on amnion and peritoneum

144
Q

What are the associated anomalies of omphalocele?

A

Complex cardiac disease (50-70%), GI, neural tube, and genitourinary tract anomalies (30-50%)

145
Q

What is gastroscchisis?

A

Congenital defective opening in the wall of the abdomen just to the right of the umbilical cord; bowel and other organs (stomach and genitourinary organs, infrequently) may protrude outside the abdomen from this opening

146
Q

Gastroschisis is a consequence of atrophy of what structure?

A

Right umbilical vein or a disruption of the omphalomesenteric artery

147
Q

What is limb- body wall complex?

A

Anomaly associated with large cranial defects, facial clefts, body wall complex defects involving thorax, abdomen, or both, and limb defects. Occurs with the fusion of the amnion and chorion; amnion doesn’t cover the umbilical cord normally but extends as a sheet from the margin of the cord and is continuous with both the body wall and the placenta.

148
Q

Limb-body wall defects are more common on which side?

A

Left-side defects are three times more common than right

149
Q

Which classification of osteogenesis imperfecta is most severe?

A

Type 2

150
Q

What is pseudoascites?

A

Sonolucent band near the fetal anterior abdominal wall found in fetuses over 18 weeks gestation

151
Q

What is duodenal atresia (double bubble)?

A

Blockage of the duodenal lumen by a membrane that prohibits the passage of swallowed amniotic fluid Most cases are found below the ampulla and often coexist with annular pancreas

152
Q

What percentage of fetuses with duodenal atresia have trisomy 21?

A

30%

153
Q

What is thanatophoric dysplasia?

A

Lethal short-limb dwarfism (most common) characterized by a marked reduction in the length of the long bones, pear-shaped chest, soft tissue redundancy, and frequently clover-leaf skull deformity and ventriculomegaly Sono findings: -Bowed long bones -Narrow thorax with normal trunk length -Large head size -Severely flattened vertebral bodies (platyspondyly) -Frontal bossing -Hypertelorism

154

A

1 in 400 births Male predominance More than 1/2 the cases are unilateral

159
Q

A

Majority of cases are idiopathic and isolated findings

160
Q

Rocker-bottom foot

A

Characterized by prominent heel and convex sole Associated with multple syndromes and chromosomal anomalies (especially trisomy 18)

161
Q

What is the anomaly associated with the Amish community?

A

Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome (Chondectomdermal dysplasia)

162
Q

Sono findings of Spina Bifida

A

-Splaying of posterior ossifaction centers with a V or U configuration -Protrusion of saclike structure that may be anechoic (menigocele) or contain neural elements (myelomeningocele) -Cleft in skin -Lemon shape head -Obliteration of cisterna magna -“Banana shape” cerebellum -Ventriculomegaly
