25
Early in the pregnancy, a placenta is known as the _____
chorion
26

33
Chorion Laeve
part of chorion in contact with decidua capsularis
34
Chorion Fronosom
helps form the placenta, which provides nutrients and oxygen to the fetus
35
hCG produced by? detected when? stimulates.? growth & plateau rate?
- prod. by trophoblastic layer of blastocyst - detected 10 days after implantation - stimulates the corpus luteum cyst on the ovary - doubles every 2 days; plateaus at 8 wks -
36
hCG can be elevated due to:
incorrect dates, GTD, twins
37
hCG can be too low due too:
incorrect dates, EP, fetal demise
38
AFP- what does it stand for? where is it manufactured? how can it be detected?
- alpha feto protein - by the fetus in the liver, GI tract, and yolk sac - detected in maternal blood
39
What conditions show increased AFP level?
- anencephaly - spina bifida
40
In TA, the levels of hCG in blood should be...
1800 mIU/ml
41
In TV, the levels of hCG in blood should be...
1000 mIU/ml
42
When is the embryonic period?
4-10 weeks
43
When does the fetal period start?
10-11 weeks
44
Gestational Age is measured from...
LMP is a.k.a "Menstrual Age"
45
Conceptual Age is measured from the...
date of conception is a.k.a "Embryonic Age"
46
Decidual Reaction
*seen in in early IUP (& EP) - thickening of the endometrium around the gestational sac
47
Double Decidual Sign
- two concentric rings surrounding the anechoic gestational sac
48
Double Bleb Sign
two sacs (amnion and yolk sac) side by side
49
Pseudogestational Sac
false sac; assoc. w/ EP
50
Ectopic Pregnancy- what is it? most common loc.? what are some susp. indicators? most common findings?
- a pregnancy outside the womb - ampulla of salping - "bagel sign", pseudogestational sac, lowered BhCG - #1 adnexal mass; pain & free fluid
51
EP w/in the intersitual or ___ region can lead to _____ _____ and even _____
- cornua - massive hemorrhage - death
52
A cervical pregnancy can lead to a _ because of __ _____.
- hysterectomy - uncontrolled bleeding.
53
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
*aka a molar pregnancy (hydatidform mole) - two types: - complete mole - partial/incomplete
54
GTD- Complete Mole what is it? patient presentation? US appearance? which cysts may be present?
- sperm fertilizes an empty egg (no nucleus) - large for gest. age, HIGH BhCG (1000,000) - UT cavity like a bunch of grapes - theca lutein cysts in ovaries
55
GTD- Partial Mole what is it? placental changes? fetal tissue is..?
- two sperm fertilize one egg - focal cystic changes & enlarged placenta - incomplete fetal tissue visualized - vv uncommon to have twins: 1 normal & 1 molar pregnancy
56
Invasive Mole
*aka: Chorioadenoma Destruens <1% of all molar pregnancies - MALIGNANT GTD - molar tissue invades myometrium - enlarged UT - appearance is similar to a missed AB.
57
Choriocarcinoma
- not considered a true mole - MALIGNANT UT TUMOR - origin. in cells of chorion -THERES MORE TO PUT
