OB final review 1 Flashcards
What is the physiologic status of prepuberty
premenarche
The superficial layer of glans and stroma of the endometrium is called the
Funtional layer Zona functionalis
The release of an egg from the ruptured follicle is
ovulation
The ovary receives its primary blood supply from the
ovarian arteries and uterine artery
The blood supply to the fallopian tube is received by
tubal branch and ovarian arteries
A mature follicle is known as a follicle
graffian follicle
A mature follicle typically is cm in size right before ovulation
2 cm
The retrouterine space is also known as
pouch of Douglas and the posterior cul-de-sac
Abnormally heavy or long menses is termed
menorrhagia
The inner lining of the uterine cavity that appears echogenic to hypoechoic on ultrasound depending on the menstrual cycle is the
endometrium
Menarche may be defined as
state after reaching puberty in which menses occurs normally every 28 days
These are small vessels found along the periphery of the uterus
arcuate
The thickness of the endometrium should be measured in the
Long Axis
The middle layer of the uterus is
myometrium
The thin outer layer of the uterus is separated from the immediate layer by the
arcuate vessels
Nabothian cysts are found near the
cervix
The most common site for a leiomyoma to occur is
intramural
Complications in delivery may occur with pregnancy if a fibroid is located
near the cervix
A benign invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium is known as
adenomyosis
A small percentage of leiomyomas are located in the
Cervix
An acquired condition with obstruction of the cervical canal is most likely a result of
cervical stenosis
Which leiomyoma location is most likely to cause heavy irregular uterine bleeding
submucosal
Irregular, acyclic bleeding is defined as
Metrorrhagia
Where might you find a Gartner’s duct cyst
vagina
In a posthysterectomy patient, the normal vaginal cuff should not exceed cm
2.1 Cm
A small endocrine structure that develops within a ruptured ovarian follicle and secretes progesterone and estrogen is a
corpus luteum cyst
The dermoid tumor typically is associated with which ultrasound sign
Dermoid plug
Tip of the iceberg…
The most common adnexal mass found during early pregnancy is a
corpus luteum cyst
Simple ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women are not likely malignant when measuring less than cm.
5 cm
The most common benign tumor of the ovary is a
dermoid
This rare benign ovarian neoplasm is most often seen in postmenopausal women
Thecoma
A common condition in which functioning endometrial tissue is present outside of the uterus is
endometriosis
Partial or complete rotation of the ovarian pedicle on its axis defines
torsion
Which pelvis organ is more involved with metastatic disease
ovaries
An infection that involves the fallopian tube and the ovary is called
tubovarian
Risk factors in pelvic inflammatory disease include
early sexual contact, history of STD, use of IUD, previous PID, douching
What is an infection within the fallopian tube called
salpingitis
The most common etiology of PID is
STD’s
multiple partners
early sexual contact
history of PID
douching
Sonographic findings of PID include
endometritis, periovarian inflammatoin, salpingitis, pyo or hydrosalpinx, tubo-ovarian abcess
A dominant follicle grows at a rate of
2 mm per day
