Obs & Gynae Flashcards
USS snowstorm appearance and frogspawn when expelled
hydatiform mole
Antepartum haemorrhage in patient with succenturiate lobe or velamentous cord insertion
vasa preavia (fetal blood vessels cross or run near internal uterus)
Succenturiate lobe
smaller accessory placental lobe separate from the main disc of placenta
Velamentous cord insertion
instead of central insertion into the placenta, the cord inserts into fetal membranes and travels within them to the placenta (between amnion and chorion)
Amnion
membrane closely covering the embryo when it first forms
Chorion
outermost fetal membrane
Risks of velamentous cord insertion
not protected by whartons jelly more likely to rupture
Maternal blood and no fetal distress
Placenta previa (placenta lying low in uterus, next to or covering cervix) caution on vaginal examination
Fetal blood and sudden fetal distress
vasa previa (treat with c-section)
Doughy abdomen
placenta accreta (placenta grows too deeply, often caused by scarring from previous c-sections or endometrial ablation) c-section with hysterectomy
Fetal distress and loss of engagement
uterine rupture (in complete rupture contents of uterus can reach peritoneal cavity) uterine scars from previous c-section is biggest risk
PPH followed by pituitary failure
Sheehan’s Syndrome
Strawberry cervix
trichomonas vaginalis
treat with metronidizole
Clue cells, pH >4.5
bacterial vaginosis
treat with metronidizole
Prolapse with back pain
uterine prolapse
