Chapter 28: Sonographic Assessment of the Fetal Genitourinary System and Fetal Pelvis Flashcards
(261 cards)
From a volume dataset, static 3D images can display height, width, and depth of anatomy form an orthogonal planes
3D sonography
failure of development
agenesis
complete absence of a fetal body part
aplasia
congenital anomaly where the bladder is outside the body through a ventral wall defect inferior to the umbilical cord
bladder exstrophy
dilation of the renal calices
caliectasis
Half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo sign; a fast spin method to obtain the MRI dataset
HASTE
type of kidney where the upper poles fuse resulting in an appearance similar to a horseshoe
horseshoe kidney
serous fluid accumulation in a body cavity such as the scrotum
hydrocele
dilation of the renal pelvises and calices, usually caused by obstruction
hydronephrosis
underdevelopment or incomplete development of a body part
hypoplasia
obstructing membranes in the male urethra located posteriorly caused by the abnormal urethral development
posterior urethral valves
this group of findings, also called Potter syndrome or oligohydramnios sequence, includes renal conditions such as agenesis, obstructive processes, and acquired inherited cystic disease
Potter syndrome
failure of renal development
renal agenesis
semi-automated process to calculate volume using a 3D dataset
VOCAL
identification or one or both kidneys
normal or oligohydramnios
small thorax
dolichocephaly
absent bladder
adrenal gland flattened in the renal fossa
absent renal arteries with Color Doppler
Renal Agenesis
Causes for UPJ obstruction
ureteral insertion anomaly
ureteral valve scarring
peripelvic fibrous adhesions or bands
ureteric hypoplasia
ureteral kinks
aberrant crossing vessels
Most common posterior urethral valve type because of anterior fusing of the plicae colliculi, mucosal extending from the bottom of the veramontanum distally along the prostatic and membranous urethra
Type I
Least common posterior urethral valve type, vertical or longitudinal folds between the veramontanum and the proximal prostatic urethral bladder neck
Type II
Less common variant of posterior urethral valves types, a disk of tissue distal to the verumontanum through not attached, a small opening in the diaphragm-like structure
Type III
distention of the anterior abdominal wall
obstruction of the urinary tract
bilateral cryptochordism
triad of Prune Belly Syndrome
Megalurethra variant that is caused by hypoplasia of the corpus spongiosum, with bulging of the ventral urthra
scaphoid varian
Megalourethra variant that is caused hy dysplasia of both the corpus spongiosum and cavernosum, with circumferential dilation of the urethra
Fusiform variant
complete communication between the bladder and the umbilicus, resulting in urine leakage from the umbilicus
patent urachus
a cystic mass that forms along the ducts course but does not communicate with the bladder or umbilicus
urachal cyst
