Q

Hydrops

A

At least 2 fetal oedema components
Immune (blood group incompatibility) or non-immune
Non-immune: Turners or trisomy, cardiac disease, infection, twin related, neoplastic (AV shunts), inborn errors of metabolism, anaemia,

Immune now uncommon due to practice of giving mother anti-immunoglobulin when she is Rhesus negative

Q

Endometrial thickening

A

Best measured immediately post-menstrual / early proliferative
Hyperplasia, neoplasia / carcinoma, polyp, tamoxifen (causes polyps, hyperplasia, carcinoma), infection

15mm top normal for secretory. <6mm to exclude thickening. Should not be above 5 post menopause

Q

Cornual ectopic / other ectopics

A

Cornual sometimes used interchangeably with interstitial ectopic, but should be reserved for when there is a rudimentary horn (bicornuate or septate)

Interstitial ectopics have a higher risk of rupture and haemorrhage compared with tubal ectopics. Present later with larger size.

Risk factors for ectopic:
Prior
IVF
Tubal surgery or inflammation
PID
Salpingitis isthmica nodosa (nodular scarring of tubes, controversial aetiology, not post infective)
IUDs
Congenital abnormalities

HCG tends to rise at a slower rate
At <2000 may not see an intrauterine pregnancy anyway

Heterotopic essentially only occurs in IVF

Q

Symmetric v asymmetric growth restriction

A

Symmetric - all measurements <10%
A - classically AC <10%

S: Trisomy, infection, maternal drugs
A: Placental insufficiency. Low or minimal karyotype abnormalities. HC reduced in maternal cocaine

Q

Uterine artery assessment

A

High resistance non-pregnant waveform, drops in resistance during pregnancy. Abnormally high resistance increases risk of pre-eclampsia and IUGR
Notching (trough like between systole and diastole) should not persist throughout pregnancy (22 weeks). Bilateral more concerning, or unilateral on same side as unilateral placenta
Normal RI <0.5
