Obstetrics Flashcards
most common chromosomal anomaly associated with omphalocele
trisomy 18
omphalocele associated congenital anomalies
- cardiac 50%
- GU (bladder exstrophy, cloacal)
- CNS anomalies
pentalogy of Cantell
- omphalocele
- ectopia cordis
- congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- pericardial defect
- cardiac malformation
OEIS complex
- omphalocele
- bladder/cloacal exstrophy
- imperforate anus
- spinal anomalies
situs - stomach and cardiac apex on left
situs solitus
situs - stomach and cardiac apex on right
situs inversus
situs - stomach and cardiac apex opposing
left isomerism - polysplenia
right isomerism - asplenia
meckel gruber syndrome
- rare, lethal
- autosomal recessive
1. encephalocele
2. polycystic kidneys
3. polydactyly
placental infarct vs lake
infarct = thick echogenic rim lake = no rim
4 types of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
invasive mole choriocarcinoma placental site trophoblastic tumour epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (dx made by FIGO criteria, no specific imaging findings to distinguish types of GTN)
theca lutein cyst definition
ovarian cysts related to hyperstimulation from elevated HCG in gestational trophoblastic disease
2 types of benign gestational trophoblastic disease
complete hydatidiform mole
partial hydatidiform mole
staging of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
stage 1: confined to uterus
stage 2: extends outside uterus but limited to genital structures (adnexa, vagina, broad ligament)
stage 3: extends to lungs +/- genital tract involvement
stage 4: involves metastatic sites
choriocarcinoma definition & spread
malignant tumor arising from trophoblasts only (NO chorionic villi) +/- hemorrhage, necrosis
very aggressive (freq nuclear atypia, high mitotic activ)
50% follow molar preg, 25% follow abortion or tubal preg, 25% follow term, preterm preg
*hematogenous spread (cf. PSTT & ETT which spread to lymph nodes)
what are trophoblasts
- 1st cells to differentiate from fertilized ovum
- form outer layer of blastocyst
- eventually form FETAL PORTION of PLACENTA
- types: cyto-, syncytio-, intermediate trophoblasts
- “gestational trophoblastic disease”: group of disease characterized by abN prolif of trophoblasts
