OB Flashcards
At what beta should gestational sac be seen?
1500 (approx. 5 weeks)
When is normal yolk sac seen?
5.5 weeks
When should fetal heart activity be seen?
CRL 7 mm
Findings definitive for pregnancy failure
CRL > 7mm, no heartbeat
MSD >25 mm, no embryo
Absence of embryo >2 weeks after sac with no yolk sac
Absence of embryo >11 days after sac with yolk sac
Findings suspicious for pregnancy failure
CRL < 7mm, no heartbeat MSD 16-24, no embryo Empty amnion Enlarged yolk sac (>7mm) Small sac in relation to embryo
Locations of ectopic pregnancy in order of prevalence
*Tubal most common! (95%)
Ampulla»_space;> isthmus > fimbria > interstitial > ovary
Other sites rare: abdominal, c-section scar, cervical
Which type of ectopic has greatest risk of bleeding
Interstitial
Differences b/w complete and partial molar preg
Complete: Most common, no fetal parts, loss of egg DNA prior to fertilization, diploid karyotype 46XX (90%) or 46XY, higher bHCG, may progress to invasive mole or choriocarcinoma
Partial: Some fetal parts, two sperm fertilizing 1 egg, triploid karyotype 69XXX, XXY, XYY, lower bHCG than complete
Imaging findings in GTD
Partial mole: enlarged placenta, cystic spaces, empty sac containing abnormal fetal parts +/- hydropic degeneration
Complete mole: enlarged uterus, multiple cystic spaces (snow storm or bunch of grapes), theca lutein cysts**
Choriocarcinoma usually arises from the following:
Molar pregnancy (50%) Miscarriage (30%) Normal pregnancy (20%)
Risks of mono-di and mono-mono pregnancies
Twin twin transfusion, acardiac twins (twin reversed arterial perfusion sequences - TRAPS), twin embolization
Differentiating features between di-di, mono-di and mono-mono pregnancies on US
Di-di - 2 placentas, 2 amnions, twin peak/lambda sign
Mono-di - thin intertwin membrane
Mono-mono - no intervening membrane, intertwined cords
Normal AFI
5-25 cm (or deepest pocket 2-8 cm)
Normal NF
<6 mm
Normal cervical length
> 2.5 cm (funnelling progresses from T-Y-V-U)
RFs for placental abruption
maternal HTN, drugs, trauma, advanced maternal age
Usually late in 2nd trimester
Imaging findings placenta accreta/increta/percreta
Loss of the retroplacental hypoechoic space
Prominent venous lakes or vessels (best seen on MRI where there are abnormal vessels in myometrium)
Disruption of border between uterus and bladder (percreta)
*scarring most common cause (prior csx, d&c, pregnancies, also previa)
Findings in fetal hydrops
Ascites Pleural effusion Pericardial effusion Generalized body edema (anasarca, skin thickening) Polyhydramnios Placental enlargement Hepatomegaly
**Must have at least 2 of these findings
List the causes of fetal hydrops
Immune: Rh incompatibility
Non-immune:
- Syndromes (turners, triosmies)
- Cardiac (arrhythmia, congential heart anomalies)
- High output shunts (vein of Galen malformation, hemangiodendothelioma)
- Infection (parvovirus most common, TORCH)
- Twin twin tranfusion, TARPS
- Other: nephrotic snydrome, hepatitis, venous/lymphatic obstruction
What is Potter’s sequence?
Constellation of findings secondary to severe oligohydramnios
- Pulmonary hypoplasia
- Abnormal facies - low set ears, flattened nose, wrinkled skin, micrognathia
- Club feet, muscular contractures
