OB Chapters Flashcards
What is anopthalmia?
absence of eyes- this results from the failure of the optic vesicle to form
What syndromes are anopthalmia linked to?
Trisomy 13, 18
lots of distance between eyes
hypertelorism
o Commonly seen with anterior cephalocele displacing the orbits laterally
hypertelorism
closely spaced eyes
Hypotelorism
o Most commonly seen with holoprosencephaly and trisomy 13.
Hypotelorism
• At the level of the eyes, we can measure
o Ocular diameter- lateral wall of orbit to medial of orbit
o Interocular diameter- length between orbits
o Binocular diameter- length of lateral margin of one eye to lateral to other
The lips typically close by weeks
7-8
The palate closes by week
12
Cleft lip and palate are often seen with what disorders?
holoprosencephaly, trisomy 13, and amniotic band
What is macroglossia associated with?
Beckwith-Wiedmann Syndrome and Downs
oral teratoma- often complex
Epignathus
Micrognathia- small mandible and recessed chin is associated with
Seen with Trisomy 13/18
What is a cystic hygroma?
abnormal accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the soft tissue.
What is cystic hygromas associated with?
Seen with Turner, fetal hydrops, aneuploidy, Trisomy 13, 18, 21
An increased nuchal fold is often associated with?
Down syndrome
What level should the nuchal fold be measured?
o Taken at the level of the CSP (cavum). Measure from occipital bone-skin.
Nuchal fold is measured at
15-19 weeks
Nuchal Translucency is measured at
11-14 weeks
Signs and symptoms of Holoprosencephaly
- Hypotelorism-reduced distance between eyes
- Cebocephaly-nose with single nostril
- Cyclopia-fusion of orbits
- Cleft Lip
- Ethomocephaly-no nose, proboscis
Name the 5 parts of the spine in order from neck to tailbone
- Cervical
- Thoracic
- Lumbar
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
Name 3 Neural tube defects
spina bifida, anencephaly, and cephalocele
When a patient has an elevated Maternal Serum Alpha-fetoprotein, what 4 disorders are associated?
omphalocele, gastroschisis, fetal death, and multiple gestations
produced by yolk sac, fetal GI tract and liver, if AFP exits fetus thru an opening, thus the greater amount to pass into maternal circulation. making this lab elevated
Alphafetoprotein
