Embryo 1 Flashcards
(36 cards)
Complete Hydatiform Mole
EITHER:
1) Fertilization of an empty oocyte, followed by sperm duplication
2) Fertilization of an empty oocyte by 2 sperm
Formed in the first week
Partial Hydatiform Mole
Fertilization of a normal oocyte by 2 sperm
Formed in the first week
Symptoms of the Hydratidiform Moles
Vaginal bleeding
Pelvic pressure and/or pain
Enlarged uterus
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (morning sickness)
Choriocarcinomas
Malignant tumors which develop from the hydratidiform moles
Can spread to lungs, bone, vagina, and brain
Post week 1 issue
Abnormal Implantation
Ectopic pregnancy- occurs outside the uterus, like the abdominal
They are most commonly found in the proximal uterine tube
Placenta Previa
Implantation occurs in the internal cervical os, which blocks it
Beyond 20 weeks of gestation, there is vaginal bleeding
1) Marginal placenta previa
2) Partial placenta previa
3) Total Placenta previa
Do a sonogram before doing a digital exam so you don’t cause hemorrhage
Chordomas
Rare slow growing aggressive neoplasms of bone
* Arise from the remenants of the notochord
Occur in the axial skeleton of the spheo-occipital region of skull and sacral regions
Week 3 issue
Sacrococcygeal Teratoma
Tumor in the tailbone of the baby, due to the primative streak persisting and not going away
All three germ layers can be found in them
Week 3 issue
Oropharyngeal Teratoma
Tumors in the mouth that are due to the persistance of the primative streak
Week 3 issue
Hirschsprungs Disease
Neurocristopathy in which the autonomic system doesn’t innervate the colon, so you can’t poop
Defect in the migration or morphogensis in the trunk neural crest **extra info
Albinism
Neural crest defect with the damn pigment cells that arise from neural crest
DiGeorge Syndrome
Hypothyroidism, thyroid deficiency, thymic displasia leading to immunodeficiency, defects in cardiac flow and the aortic arches
Dental anomalies
Since neural crest cells deal with enamel and dentin, issues arise from that
Neuroblastoma
Tumor of adrenal medulla and/or autonomic ganglia
Spinal bifida Occulta
Neural tube defect of the caudal pore
There is an unfused verterbral arch, due to the the failure of the caudal neural pore to close at the appropriate time
Nothing wrong with the person except that they have a tuft of hair on the end of their spine
Meningoecele
Meninge-cist, doesn’t close on time but eventually closed
No vertebral or neuro arches
The pouches are filled with cerebral spinal fluid
Patients may or may not see abnormalities
Neural tube defect in caudal pore
Meningomyelocele
Neural tube protrudes out in the cist and filled with cerbral final fluid
Experience motor and sensory deficit
Neural tube defect on the caudal neural
Myelocele
The spinal chord is open must be surgically corrected and there is a motor and sensory deficit
Caudal Neural pore issue of the neuro tube
Anencephaly
Problem with close of rostral neuropore
Not compatible with life
No brain cap
Enencephalocele
Big lump on the back of your head
Rostral neuro pore closing
Not compatible with life
Can be an issue with or without brain tissue
Occipital Mylocoele
Failure in rostral closing and you get a lump in the occipital region
Frontal Encephylocoele
Failure in rostral neural pore closing
The issue happens by day 28
Thoracic outlet syndrome
Cervical ribs can compress arteries and can lead to blockage
Pectus Carinatum
Sternum protrudes leading to pigeon chest
No real issues, just looks weird
