What is the difference between partial situs inversus and complete situs inversus?
Complete: total reversal of thoracic and abdominal organs
Partial: more severe, thoracic viscera are usually reversed and abdominal viscera may/may not be reversed; two combinations of organ reversals, asplenia or polysplenia

Fetuses 14-16 wks should have fluid in stomach
There may be a significant change in size of stomach
Echogenic debris can sometimes be seen along dependent wall
Esophageal anomalies are the LEAST common problem for nonvisualization of the stomach
Pg. 1338
What is polysplenia?
- -More than one spleen
- – represented by transposition of liver, spleen, and stomach and absent GB
Pg. 1342

Sonolucent band near the fetal anterior abdominal wall found in fetuses over 18 weeks gestation
Pg. 1343
What is the most reliable criteria for diagnosing dilated bowel loops?
Bowel diameter
Pg. 1344
What are the causes for a double bubble?
- duodenal atresia
- -duodenal stenosis
- -annular pancreas
- -Ladd’s bands
- -proximal jejunal atresia
- -malrotation
- -diaphragmatic hernia
Pg. 1345
What are some other defects that may coexist with esophageal defects?
Tracheoesophageal fistula
Pg. 1336
Anorectal Atresia VACTERL Growth Restriction Trisomies 18 and 21 Pg. 1344
What is a derivative of the hindgut?
- Left part of transverse colon
- descending colon
- Sigmoid colon
- Rectum
- Superior portion of anal canal
- Epithelium of Bladder
- most of Urethra
Pg. 1338
At 30 weeks, what are the peritoneal calcifications of the fetus?
Meconium peritonitis and Hydrometrocolpos?
Pg. 1348 (green box)
What is the VACTERL group of anomalies?
V= Vertebral A= Anal C= Cardiac T= Trachea E= Esophageal R= Renals L= Limbs
What is correct about the normal liver?
- Relatively large in comparison to other intraabdominal organs and occupies most of upper abdomen
- Accounts for 10% of total weight at 11 weeks and 5% at term
- Hepatic veins and fissures formed by the end of the first trimester
- Left lobe is larger than right in utero secondary to greater supply of oxgenated blood
pg. 1341
What is anorectal atresia?
Presents as a complex disorder of the bowel and genitourinary tract and may be present as part of the VACTERL association or in caudal regression. One of the findings in this is an imperforate anus, which is when a membrane covers the anus prohibiting the expulsion of meconium. Prognosis is poor because of associated anomalies. Incontinence of both bowel and bladder is common.
pg. 1347
At how many weeks should you see fetal kidneys on ultrasound?
By 13 weeks?
Pg. 1354
18 weeks? kidneys should be documented in all fetuses sonographically

True Hermaphroditism
Pg. 1377
What will you find with complete renal agenesis?
- Severe Oligo after 13-15 weeks
- Absence of urine in fetal bladder
- No visualization of kidneys or renal arteries
- Small thorax
Pg. 1360
You will not find a dilated fetal bladder

Cardiac defect
Musculoskeletal disorders: sirenomelia, absent radius and fibula, anomalies of digits, sacral agenesis, diphragmatic hernia, and cleft palate
CNS anomalies: hydrocephalus, meningocele, cephalocele, holoprosencephaly, anencephaly, and microcephaly

Quizlet
What is multicystic dysplastic kidney disease?
Characterized by multiple, smooth- walled, nonfunctioning, noncommunicating cysts of varying sizes and numbers. Renal tissue is replaced by cysts that are found throughout the kidney. The entire kidney or only a portion may be affected. The affected kidney is nonfunctional.
