what is a organ that develops by the mother and fetus |
placenta |
|
three components of the placenta |
chorionic plate, placental substance,basal layer |
|
the 6 functions of the placenta |
respiration, nutrition,excretion,protection,storage,endocrine |
|
each functional unit of the placenta is called |
cotyledon |
|
placenta thickness should range from |
1.5-4.0cm ap |
|
large pools of maternal venous blood within the placenta is called |
placental lakes (intervillous spaces,venous lakes) |
|
what circulates through the intervillous spaces |
maternal blood |
|
exchange of nutrients ,oxygen,and waste takes place where |
placental lakes |
|
how do intervillous lakes look like on US |
anechoic areas within the placenta |
|
how many grades is there of the placenta |
0-3 = 4 |
|
late 1st trimeter -early 2nd trimester , no calcification,smooth chorionic plate without indentations ,uniform moderate echogenicitiy |
grade 0 |
|
small indications of the chorionic plate may be noted with small calcification in the placental tissue ,mid 2nd term -early 3rd term |
grade 1 |
|
diabetics often show which grades |
0-1 at term |
|
has greater indentations of the chorionic plate , more and larger calcification ,does not usually appear until after 30 weeks |
grade 2 |
|
larger calcification with significant shadowing complete indentations or chorionic plate through to the basilarplate creating "cotyledons" and usually appear st 35 weeks-post date |
grade 3 |
|
what is considered placentomegaly |
>5cm |
|
causes for placentomegaly |
maternal diabetes, placenta hydrops,infection,chorioangioma,umbilical vein thrombosis,multiple gestations,chromosomal abnormalities |
|
what is considered small of placenta measuring |
<1.5 |
|
reasons for a small placenta |
preeclampisa,IUGR, maternal hypertension ,placental infraction |
|
how many cm is considered for the distance from the internal OS |
>2cm |
|
when the placenta partially to totally covers the internal OS |
placenta previa |
|
ss for placent previa |
painless,red,bright vaginal bleeding in the third trimester |
|
what could be a cause of placenta previa |
abnormally low implantation of the blastocyst |
|
placenta previa is common in |
multiparous women, previous C section, previous myomectomy ,scarring |
|
what is it important to identified placenta prevue |
so that a C section may be planned if the prevue persists until delivery |
|
chroinoic villi arein direct contact with the myometrium but not invade |
placenta acreta |
|
sono apparente of placenta accreta is |
loss of the normal hypo echoic interface between the placenta and the myometrium |
|
further extension of the chorionic villi invade myometrium |
placenta increate |
|
how can increata and percreta be diagnosed |
based on the amount of invasion and if there is breech of the serial layer of the uterus |
|
penetration of the uterine series, severe forms can often lead to a hysterectomy or be fatal |
placenta peracreta |
|
placental lobes are joined to main placenta by blood vessels |
succenturiate lobe/ accessory lobe placenta |
|
what may result in postpartum hemorrhage and infection ? |
succenturiate lobe/ accessory lobe placenta |
|
a placenta that consists of two separate discs of equal size |
bilobed placenta |
|
caused when the basal plate or the fetal side of the placenta is smaller than the chorionic |
circumvallate plaenta |
|
what can circumvallate placenta cause to the patient ? |
abruption, bledding |
|
premature separation of all or part of the placenta from the myometrium before the birth of the fetus |
placenta abruption |
|
most common cause of painful bleeding in the third trimester ? |
placental abruption |
|
treatment for large abruption |
delivery |
|
focal myometrium contractions are painless,localized contractions of the myometrium that occur throughout pregnancy and not always clinically apparent |
uterine contraction |
|
entire uterus contracts similar to that during delivery |
braxton hicks contractions |
|
common in asian population and has snow storm appearance |
molar pregnancy ,gestational trophoblastic disease |
|
what will be identified with molar pregnancy ,gestational trophoblastic disease |
bilateral theca-lutein cyst |
|
SS for molar pregnancy ,gestational trophoblastic disease |
bleeding,anemia, hypertension,severe eclampisa,hyperemesis gravidarium , uterus is too large for dates , elevated serum BHCG |
|
how many types is there of molar pregnancy ,gestational trophoblastic disease |
3 |
|
most common benign of GTD (90%) |
hydatidifrom |
|
what are the three types of molar pregnancy ,gestational trophoblastic disease of the hydatidiform |
complete HM, partial /incomplete,HM w/coexisting fetus |
|
with twin gestations , when one of them gets molar pregnancy what happens to the other one |
the other one stays normal |
|
onvasive mole, has malignant potential |
chorioadenoma destruens |
|
malignant ,metastasis |
choriocarcinoma |
|
typical doppler waveform pattern for molar pregnancy ,gestational trophoblastic disease |
high velocity ,low resistance |
|
benign , second to trophoblastic disease , its the most common |
chorioangioma |
