study guide test 2 Flashcards
Which anomaly refers to a fetus with a significantly narrow chest diameter?
asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy
What is the most important determinate for fetal viability?
pulmonary development
Sonographic evaluation of normal thorax: What should it include?
examined in both trans and coronal or parasagittal planes
thoracic cavity is symmetrically bell-shaped: with the ribs forming the lateral margins, the clavicles forming the upper margins, and the diaphragm forming the lower margins
lungs serve as the lateral borders for the heart and lie superior to the diaphragm
Chest circumference measurements are made in trans plane at what level?
four chamber view of the heart
Fetal breathing
most prominent in the 2nd and 3rd trimester
mature fetus spends 1/3 of the time breathing
breathing is present if the fetal chest of abd makes seesaw movements for 20sec
What are the cardiac access degrees?
normal ranges from 22-75 degrees (average 45 degrees)
What abnormalities are associated with pulmonary hypoplasia?
renal agenesis
premature rupture of membranes
posterior urethral valve syndrome
Sonographic findings for CAM:
Type I: single or multiple large cysts 2cm in diameter; good prognosis after resection of affected lung
Type II: multiple small cysts <1cm in diameter, echogenic; high incidence of other congenital anomalies (renal gastrointestinal)
Type III: large, bulky, noncystic lesions producing mediastinal shift; poor prognosis
Ussually 1 lobe is affected; associated with polyhydramnios and anascrea; poor prognosis
Diaphragmatic hernia: anteriomedial
Foramen of Morgagni
What lung cyst is the most common?
bronchogenic cyst
Severity of pulmonary hypoplasia is determined by what?
depends on when pulmonary hypoplasia occurred during pregnancy, its severity, and its duration
What is the supernumerary of the lung called?
pulmonary sequestration
What is the normal sonographic appearance of the fetal chest?
majority of the heart is positioned in the midline and left chest
Apex of the heart should be directed toward the spleen
base of the heart lies horizontal to the diaphragm
What is the appearance of fetal lungs on ultrasound?
homogeneous with moderate echogenicity
If you see pleural fluid, what should you be looking for?
diaphragm?????
Pulmonary Sequestration and its sonographic findings:
it is a supernumerary lobe of the lungs, separated from the normal tracheobronchial tree
findings: echogenic solid mass resembling lung tissue; rarely occurs below diaphragm; associated with hydrops and polyhydramnios, diaphragmatic hernia, gastrointestinal anomalies; normal intra-abdominal anatomy
Where is congenital bronchial atresia most commonly located?
left upper lobe
What is the most common type of diaphragmatic defect?
foramen of Bochdalek
What is the mortality rate at birth for a fetus with a diaphragmatic hernia?
high
What is a diaphragmatic hernia frequently associated with?
cardiac malformations
central nervous system malformations
renal anomalies
vertebral defects
pulmonary hypoplasia
facial clefts
If there is pleural fluid, what could happen?
a shift
What is a rupture of amnion that leads to entanglement or entrapment?
amniotic band syndrome
What is the defect in the lower abdominal wall and lower anterior wall of the bladder?
bladder exstrophy (cloacal exstrophy-rare and more complex)
An anomaly with large cranial, facial, and body wall defects is called?
limb-body wall complex
Which abnormality would have visceration of bowel to the right of the umbilical cord?
gastroschisis
If you have an omphalocele and scoliosis is also present, what should you consider?
limb-body wall complex
If an omphalocele is low, what other anomalies should you consider?
bladder or cloacal exstrophy
anal atresia
spina bifida
What all does Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome include?
macroglossia
omphalocele
visceromegaly
