PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF CONGENITAL ANOMALIES Flashcards
Genetic testing
Chorionic villus sampling
Alternative to amniocentesis
Early in 10 to 14 weeks
The results available within one week
US BEFORE SAMPLING TO DETRIMENT
Relation between lie of uterus and cervix and path catheters
Bladder fullness influence relationship and catheter route
Fetus for life normal morphology
Problems
Uterin masses or problems may affect passage of the catheter
Early CVS cause
Prior to 9 weeks
Cause birth defects in the limbs
Missing fingers and toes
Malformation of tongue and jaw
Amniocentesis common reason
Advanced maternal age
Indications for amniocentesis
History of balanced rearrangement of choromosomes in parent or previous child
Abnormal AFP
Abnormal triple screen
Fetus with congenital anomaly
Balanced chromosomal rearrangement
Balanced chromosomal abnormality
Type of chromosomal structural variant
Chromosomal rearrangement
Translocation
Inversions
Insertion
Early amniocentesis lead to
15 and 20 weeks
As early as 12 weeks
Fetal scoliosis
Club foot
Reduced amount of AF
Optimal collection site forAF
Away from fetus
Away from central portion of placenta
Away from umblicalcard
Near maternal midline to avoid maternal vessels
Technique of amniocentesis needle
Do not angle the needle
Needle parallel to the td tip of needle can be seen
Amniocentesis and multiple gestations
Examination foreach fetus
fetal anatomy and growth profile
Monozygotic or dizygotic
Multiples sacs and amount of amniotic fluid within each sac
Indigo Carmin aye can be injected into first sac
Avoid placenta in Rh negative
Rohgam should be injected to all negative RH within 72 hours
Rh incompatibility
Level of bilirubin may range from
Mild to dangerously high
First born baby often not affected unless mother had past miscarriage or abortion
, . first baby it takes Romero develop antibody
But all ‘children after are affected
if they are Rh positive
RHoGAM
Immunoglobulin used for prevent Rh D in mothers who are Rh negative
Cordocentesis
From umblicalcord
For analyze feral chromosomes
Karyotype results in 2 - 3 days
AvailabilityTO FISH has decreased need for this
Mare used as a guidance for Transfusion bloodin feral ISO immunization
Invasive procedures
Amniocentesis
Cordocentesis
Chorion villi sampling
Alpha-fetoprotein
AFP is major protein in feral serum
Produced by yolk sac and then feral liver
Alsofound in spine, gi tract liver-kidneys
Transported into AF by urination and reaches maternal circulation or blood by membranes
Major protein in fetal serum
AFP
AFP found
Feral spine
gi tract
Liver
Kidneys
AFP reaches to maternal circulation
Through
Through AF by fetal
Urination and membranes
,AF - AFP amniotic fluid
FS-AFP feral serum
MS-AFP maternal serum
Common reason for high AFP
Open Spina bifida
anencephaly
Neural tube defects monitoring AFP
Screening test neural tube defect
Monitoring of AFP
MSAFP screening detects
75% to 90% open neural defects
85% abdominal wall defects
MSAFP Peak from
MS AFP with G age
AF AFP with G age
15-to 18 weeks
Increase with gestational age
Af decreasewith age feral
Common reason for elevation
Incorrect dates
Reasons for elevation AFP
Acrania
Encephalacele
With Meckel Gruber syndrome
Ancancephay more than spina bifida
Sacrococcygel teratama
Abdominal wall defeats emphalocele,gastrochisis
(Higher) in gastro
Bladder or cloacal extrophy
Ectopic cordis
Limb-body wall complex
Amniotic band syndrome
Twin pregnancy
Obstruction of GI tract xx
Annular pancreas
Esophageal atresia
DUOdeNAl atresia
Kidney lesion
Congenital nephrosis
Polycystic kidney
Urinary tract obstruction
Placental lesion -chorioinangiamas -hemangioma-hematoma
Heart failure
severed sensitized fetus with Rh may have,heart failure
Because of severe anemia
Cystic hygroma
Liver disease
Multiple gestation with death of co-towin
Fetus papyraceous
One-acardiac twin
AFP Î
Extremes high AFPare excreted by kidneys in
Congenital nephrosis
Placental lesions AFP î
Hemãto angioma
Hematoma
Chorinangiamas
Problem in severely sensitized fetus with Rh
Heart failure because of severe anemia
Eligohydramnios may have
Higher concentration of AFP bcs there is less fluid to diffuse protein
Low AFP
Trisomy 21
18 13
Incorrect date
Feral death
Hydatidiform form moles,
Spontaneous abortion
Non pregnant state
More specificfor detecting level ofAFP
AF AFP
Specific for detecting an open neural tube
Acetylcholine esterase
Beyond 20 weeks
Because AFP is no langer sensitive
