OB/GYN Registry Review Part 4 Flashcards
_____ twinning will always be:
dichorionic/diamniotic
early division <4 days results in:
dichorionic/diamniotic
The most common division is between __-__ days
4
8
Division between 4 and 8 days results in:
monochorionic/diamniotic
Late division >8 days results in:
monochorionic/monoamniotic
two completely separate gestational sacs within the uterine cavity in the first trimester
dichorionic
Twin peak (labda or delta sign)
dichorionic/diamniotic
thin membrane inserting like a T into placenta which means one shared placenta T sign
monochorionic/diamniotic
Monochorional twins share one placenta so there’s increased risk of ____ and ____
fetal shunting
growth issues
fetal shunting through vessels in the placenta
Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome
Donor twin gives blood to other, eventually suffering from ____ and ____ in TTTS
anemia
IUGR
The recipient twin receives too much blood and can suffer from _____ and ____ due to the overload of blood going to the heart in TTTS
hydrops
CHF
1st initial sonographic indication of TTTS
discordant fetal growth
The donor twin in TTTS signs:
smaller/IUGR
oligohydramnios
anemia
The recipient twin in TTTS signs:
larger
polyhydramnios
hydrops/CHF
most severe type of TTTS
stuck twin
Oligohydramnios is so severe that the donor twin appears to be stuck to the side of the uterine wall
Stuck twin (TTTS)
Acardiac twinning is also known as ____
TRAP sequence
TRAP sequence is:
twin reversed arterial perfusion syndrome
abnormal anastamosis of placental vessels that support the growth of parasitic or acardiac twin
TRAP sequence
One normal fetus and one abnormally developed fetus with no heart
TRAP sequence
The pump twin in TRAP sequence maintains:
the growth of the parasitic twin
The pump twin in TRAP sequence has a mortality rate of __% secondary to polyhydramnios and prematurity.
50
The acardiac twin in TRAP sequence demonstrates:
absent upper body, absent heart, and hydrops
Conjoined twins only happen in;
monochorionic/monoamniotic twins
Occurs when zygote splits >13 days
conjoined twins
Most common types of conjoined twins
thoracopagus
omphalopagus
thoracopagus
conjoined at the chest
