Q

sonographic diagnosis of anorectal atresia?

A

0 dialated loops of small bowel or colon in the absence of polyhydramnios

20
Q

management of anorectal atresia?

A
  • fetal echocardigram

- genetic counseling

21
Q

what is echogenic bowel characterized by?

A

echos of bowel are as echogenic as the iliac crest

22
Q

echogenic bowel: common associated risks? (8)

A
Aneuploidy
 Cystic fibrosis
 Swallowed fetal blood
 Infection
 Gastrointestinal atresias
Meconium peritonitis
 Intrauterine growth restriction
 Fetal Demise
23
Q

what is the most common anomaly of the abdominal wall?

A

omphalocele

24
Q

what is omphalocele?

A
  • defect in the anterior abdominal wall and the site of the imbilical cord insertion
25
Q

how is omphalocele identified?

A
  • herniation of abdominal organs (liver and bowel) into the base of the umbilical cord
26
Q

what is associated with omphalocele?

A
  • pentaolgy of cantrell
  • beckwidth-wiedemann syndrome
  • may be isolated
  • heart defects
  • chromosome anomalies (tri-18 m/c)
27
Q

how are fetal anterior wall abnormalities diagnosed on u/s?

A
  • Ventral mass seen at the cord insertion site
  • Omphalocele may be small (only bowel) or large (bowel and liver) and appear solid
  • covered by a membrane, which represents the amnion covering of umbilical cord
  • Ascites may be seen in peritoneal membrane
28
Q

what is pentalogy of cantrell associated with? (5)

A
  • ectopia cordia
  • heart defect
  • diaphragmatic hernia
  • pericardial defect
  • omphalocele
29
Q

what is bechwidth- wiedemann syndrome characterized by? (4)

A
  • macrosomia
  • macroglossia
  • omphalocele
  • renal neoplasm
30
Q

what is gastroschisis?

- where is it located?

A
  • cleft defect of the anterior abdominal wall with extrusion of abdominal organs into the amniotic cavity
  • usually only contains small bowel and is isolated
  • most commonly to the right of midline at umbilical level
31
Q

what is the main difference between gastrochisis and omphalocele?

A

in gastroschisis the herniated content is not covered by a membrane and the herniated content is free in the amniotic fluid

32
Q

risk of gastrochisis?

A
  • teenage mothers
  • tobacco use
  • drug use
  • pseudoephedrine
33
Q

what is gastroschisis associated with? (3)

A
  • atresias
  • stenosis
  • perforations
34
Q

what 6 things does the fetal abdomen contain?

A
  1. umbilical vein
  2. liver
  3. IVC
  4. descending aorta
  5. spleen
  6. fetal stomach
34

Q

when can hepatomegly been seen?

A
  • in severe hemolytic diseases
  • splenomegaly
  • hydrops
36
Q

splenomegly is associated with?

A

  • may present as meconium peritonitis and ascites
Nongastrointestinal causes include:
Immune and nonimmune hydrops
