test review Flashcards
Decidua basalis
the myometrial or burrowing side of the conceptus
Decidua capsularis
the villi covering the developing embryo
Double decidual sac sign
interface between the decidua capsularis and the echogenic decidua on the opposite wall of the endometrial cavity
good indication of intrauterine pregnancy
Secondary Yolk sac
earlist gestational anatomy seen normally seen at 5 weeks gestation
growth rate .1mm/ml of growth of the MSD hwen the MSD is less than 15mm
detaches from yolk stalk at approx 8 weeks gestation
provides nutrients, hemotopoiesis and embryonic endoderm which forms the primitive gut
Gestational sac size
mean sac size correlates closely with menstrual age during early pregnancy remains accurate through first 8 weeks of gestation
Bradycardia
heartbeat less than 90 bpm
Tachycardia
heartbeat more than 170 bpm
Oligohydramnios
insufficient amount of amnionic fluid in the sac
if sac is 5mm less than CRl oligohydramnios may be suspected
demise is highly probable
Heteroectopic
one pregnancy in the uterus and another outside of the uterus
Acrania
abnormal mineralization of bony structures
abnormally shaped “mickey mouse” head
results in no brain no skull
Anencephaly
absence of cranium from superior to orbits with preservation of base of skull and face
brain may project from open cranium
results in face but no skull or brain
Cephalocele
Midline cranial defect
herniation of brain and meninges
Iniencephaly
defect in occiput involving the foramen magnum
extreme retroflexoin of spine
open spinal defect
very rare
Ventriculomegaly
dilation of ventricular system without enlargement of cranium
compression of choriod plexus
increased cerebrospinal fluid
dangling choroid in dilated lateral ventricle
Holoprosencephaly
failure of prosencephalon to differentiate into cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricles between 4th and 8th weeks
complete to partial failure of cleavage of prosencephalon
facial dysmorphysim
3 tyupes alobar, semilobar and lobar
it is important to remember that before 9wks the normal fetal brain appears to have a single ventricle until the falx cerebri develops
Dandy-walker malformation
6th to 7th week gestatoin
cystic dilatoin of fourth ventricle
dysgenesis or agenesis of cerebellar vermis and hydrocephaly
elevated tentorium
Spina bifida
occurs when neural tube fails to close after 6 weeks gestation
appearance includes spinal irregularites or bulging within the posterior contour of the fetal spine
Turners syndrome
most common karyotype abnormality non lethal endochrine disorder cause by failure of the ovaries to respond to pituitary hormone
only im females
no ovaries
short growth
webbing around neck and digits
Uterine fibroids
common throughout pregnancy may increase in size throughout first trimester and early 2nd because of estrogen stimulatoin
Diamnitoic
multiple pregnancies with two anmiotic sacs
Dichorionic
multiple pregnancies with two chorionic sacs
Monoamniotic
multiple pregnancies with one anmiotic sacs
Monochorionic
multiple pregnancies with one chorionic sacs
Hematopoiesis
the formation of RBC’s starts in the yolk sac and then moves to the liver
