3 Criteria of Simple Cyst |
1. anechoic 2. well-defined borders 3. posterior enhancement |
|
At what measurement do Simple Cysts rarely regress? |
>10cm |
|
At what measurement is a Simple Cyst usually removed during 2nd trimester pregnancy? |
>8cm |
|
What are Functional Cysts? |
hormonally active cysts (normal) |
|
Normal size range of Functional Cysts |
0.5mm - 3cm |
|
Follow-up is usually done for Functional Cysts measuring.... |
3-5cm |
|
What are the 4 Functional Cysts |
1. follicular 2. corpus luteal 3. hemorrhagic 4. theca lutein |
|
Follicular Cyst Appearance |
- unilocular - anechoic - thin-walled - posterior enhancement - 3-8mm (max - 3cm) |
|
Corpus Luteum Cyst |
forms from the rupture of graafian follicle within hours of ovulation - occurs on 1 ovary per month |
|
What happens to the CL Cyst with no pregnancy? |
continue to grow OR hemorrhage on itself |
|
What happens to the CL Cyst with pregnancy? |
regresses by 14 weeks |
|
A cyst is not considered a Corpus Luteum Cyst until what measurement? |
>3cm |
|
Appearance of CL Cyst |
- hyperechoic, irregular walls - echogenic content - maybe solid - unilateral |
|
Theca Lutein Cysts |
most commonly a result of overstimulation of hCG (infertility treatments or GTD) |
|
Measurements of Theca Lutein Cysts |
3-20cm |
|
What Complications might happen due to Theca Lutein Cysts being large? |
- rupture - torsion |
|
Treatment for Theca Lutein Cysts |
- remove hormones - remove GTD |
|
Appearance of Theca Lutein Cysts |
- complex - strands within **BILATERAL - enlarged ovaries |
|
Hemorrhagic Cysts |
bleeding into a cyst |
|
What does Hemorhhagic Cyst result in? |
acute pelvic pain |
|
Appearance of Hemorrhagic Cysts |
acute - anechoic subacute - mixed echo late - hyperechoic |
|
How to differentiate Hemorrhagic Cyst from Ovarian Mass? |
hemorrhage - smooth walls - lack of color flow - posterior enhancement |
|
What might happen if a Hemorrhagic Cyst is not resolved? |
torsion |
|
PCOD - Polycystic Ovary Disease |
Endocrinologic disorder
- sometimes called Stein-Levanthal Syndrome **syndromes need 3 or more symptoms |
|
What is PCOD associated with? |
chronic anovulation |
|
How is PCOD diagnosed? |
blood work |
|
Signs / Symptoms of PCOD |
- obesity - hirutism (excess hair growth, upper lip) - oligomenorrhea / amenorrhea - infertility |
|
Appearance of PCOD |
- BILATERAL multiple cysts - surrounding periphery - 2-10mm *string of pearls appearance |
|
Ovarian Torsion ** does not occur in normal ovaries |
caused by partial of complete rotation of ovary on axis |
|
Progression of Ovarian Torsion (4 steps) |
1. cuts off venous drainage 2. congestion / edema 3. arterial perfusion ceases 4. infarcts / dies |
|
Risk Factors of Ovarian Torsion |
- preexisting ovarian cyst / mass - children with mobile adnexa (too much space, ovaries float) - pregnancy |
|
Appearance of Ovarian Torsion |
- enlarged ovary **maybe arterial flow but ABSENT venous flow!!! |
|
In acute Ovarion Torsion, patient will be feeling.... |
SEVERE PAIN |
|
Paraovarian Cysts |
located between fallopian tubes & ovary |
|
Appearance of Paraovarian Cysts |
**cyst SEPERATE from ovary - complex |
|
Malignancy may develop in Paraovarian Cysts larger than.... |
5mm |
