Midterm CIS Content Flashcards
An endometrioma AKA chocolate cyst rupture is often secondary to __________
Endometriosis
What is the severity of endometriosis dependent on?
Hormones
**Sx will progressively worsen without tx & endometriosis is assoc with a higher incidence of multiple allergic sensitivities
What is the major risk factor for severe rather than mild or moderate endometriosis?
Women that have a sister or mother with endometriosis
What type of OMM dysfunction should prompt the search for visceral disease and dysfunction and why?
Extended lumbar type II dysfunctions are frequently the product of segmental muscle contraction that results from a viscerosomatic reflex and should prompt the search for visceral disease and dysfunction
What does the abrupt increase in severity and radiation of endometriosis indicate the possibility of?
Rupture
Why should you get a CA 125 level in a pt with a suspected ruptured ovarian endometriotic cyst?
ruptured ovarian endometriotic cysts can sometimes mimic ovarian malignancy because of the extremely elevated serum CA 125 concentration
What imaging modality is best for detecting hemoperitoneum active bleeding?
CT by the active arterial extravasation of IV contrast with a measured attenuation value higher than that of free or clotted blood -> need for prompt surgical intervention
What are the signs and sx of endometriosis?
- dysmenorrhea
- pelvic pain due to intrapelvic bleeding and periuterine adhesions
- menorrhagia
- hormone dependent
- dyspareunia
- lumbago
- rectal pain
- dyschezia
- infertility
- increased allergic reactions
- positive family history
**may be asymptomatic
What are the PE findings assoc with endometriosis?
- best performed during early menses
- pelvic tenderness
- nodules found on bimanual exam on uterosacral ligament or in post cut-de-sac
- dec uterine mobility/retroversion
- tender/fixed nodular adnexal masses
- SD of lumbar spine or chapmans points
How do you make a diagnosis of endometriosis?
- CA-125 may be elevated
- get HCG to r/o pregnancy
- UA to r/o UTI
- CBC, CMP, STI’s
- consider MRI/CT for advanced/severe cases
**Often very difficult to dx endometriosis w/o surgical confirmation
_________ (imaging modality) is frequently performed as the first imaging modality for the evaluation of abdominal and pelvic pain of unknown etiology
CT
What can endometriomas look like on transvaginal US?
homogenous cysts
What are the visual lesions assoc with endometriosis that are seen on laparoscopy?
- classic finding = black powder burns
- non classic finding = red/white lesions
What are the potential complications of endometriosis?
progressive worsening course -> implants spread to pelvis, GI tract, urinary tract, iliopsoas muscles and lumbar spine
What are the etiologies of endometriosis?
- retrograde menstruation
- coelomic metaplasia of multipotential cells in peritoneal cavity
- extrauterine stem/progenitor cell
- metastases to bone, lung & brain via vascular/lymphatic dissemination
- presence of abnormal factors like pro inflammatory factors, inc estrogen production by stroll cells, assoc between endometriosis and cancer or shared gene mutations
What does the mesonephros give rise to in males?
epididymis and ductus deferens
What do the mullein ducts (paramesonephric ducts) give rise to in males vs females?
- males = vagina masculina, appendix testis
- females = upper parts form uterine tubes & lower parts form uterus and upper vagina
What 2 types of cancer is endometriosis assoc with?
Endometrioid cancer
clear cell ovarian cancer
What is the coelom and what is it derived from?
- cavity between splenic and somatic mesoderm in the embryo that forms the lining of the general body cavity in the adult
- derived from mesoderm
What do the mullerian ducts and endometrium originate from?
Mesothelium
What are the viscerosomatics assoc with endometriosis?
- sympathetic = T10-L2
- parasympathetic = S2-4
What chapmans points would you expect to find in a pt with endometriosis?
- anterior = ascending ramps of the pubis
- posterior = transverse process of L5
What are the OMM contraindications assoc with endometriosis?
- no absolute contraindications
- relative contraindication is inc pain with treatment -> want to use more indirect tx; don’t usually use HVLA
What are the rules of 3s assoc with thoracic spinous process and transverse process?
- T1-3 = SP is in same plane as TP
- T4-6 = SP is 1/2 way b/w its own TP and the TP below
- T7-9 = SP is in the plane of the TP one vertebrae below
- T10 = one level below
- T11 = 1/2 way
- T12 = same plane
