What are some causes of first trimester bleeding?

-abruption -previa -abnormal pregnancy -IUCD and IUP -myoma -loss of twin

complete abortion

-complete removal of all products of conception, including the placenta -rapid decline of hCG levels -closed cervical os

gestational trophoblastic disease

-condition in which trophoblastic tissue overtakes the pregnancy and propagates throughout the uterine cavity -elevated hCG levels

gastroschisis

-congenital fissure that remains open in the wall of the abdomen just to the right of the umbilical cord -bowel and other organs protrude from the opening

omphalocele

-congenital hernia of the umbilicus that is covered with a membrane -cord may be seen in the middle of the mass

iniencephaly

-congenitally deformed fetus in which the brain substance protrudes through a fissure in which the occiput -brain and spinal cord occupy a single cavity -retroflexion of the spine

Dandy-Walker malformation

-cystic dilation of the 4th ventricle with dysgenesis or complete agenesis of the cerebellar vermis -large psoterior fossa cyst that is continuous with the 4th ventricle -elevated tentorium dilated 3rd and lateral ventricles

ventriculomegaly

-dilation of the ventricular system without enlargement of the cranium -choriod plexus appears to be dangling

theca-lutein cysts

-exaggerated corpus luteum in response to increased hCG levels -3-20 cm -bilateral with multiple septations

holoprosencephaly

-failure of the forebrain to divide into cerebral hemispheres -results in a single large ventricle with varying amounts of cerebral cortex -alobar, semilobar, lobar -known to occur with trisomies 13-5 and 18

choriocarcinoma

-invasive mole with rapid metastasis to lungs, liver, brain -occurs after molar pregnancy, spontaneous abortion

cystic hygroma

-most common abnormality seen sonographically in the first trimester -fluid-filled structure initially surrounding the neck, may extend upward to the head or laterally to the body

Turner's syndrome

-nonlethal genetic abnormaility where chromosomal makeup is 45 XO instead of 46 XX or XY -most common karyotype abnormality -survivors are short in stature, low-set ears, webbing of the neck, shield-shaped chest, infertility

hydatidiform mole

-placental villi have become swollen with fluid -complete: 1-2 sperm fertilize an empty egg -partial: 2 sperm fertilize a normal egg -invasive: grown into the myometrium

interstitial pregnancy

-pregnancy occurring in the fallopian tube near the cornu of the uterus -most life-threatening
