How is chorioangioma treated?
How is chorioangioma treated?
The combined use of bipolar cautery with a diode laser proved to be an effective treatment option for symptomatic chorioangioma. With bipolar cautery, surgeons were able to reduce the blood flow to the chorioangioma by coagulating the main feeding vessel, which was too large to be safely coagulated by the laser diode.
Can chorioangioma cause Polyhydramnios?
The large surface area of the enlarged vessels of the angioma may also predispose to the increased transudation. Polyhydramnios also can be explained by the partial placental insufficiency caused by shunting of the fetal blood into the vessels of the chorioangioma.
What can cause polyhydramnios?
Some of the known causes of polyhydramnios include:
- A birth defect that affects the baby’s gastrointestinal tract or central nervous system.
- Maternal diabetes.
- Twin-twin transfusion — a possible complication of identical twin pregnancies in which one twin receives too much blood and the other too little.
What is a Battledore placenta?
Battledore placenta (Marginal cord insertion) is a condition in which the umbilical cord is inserted at or near the placental margin rather than in the center. The cord can be inserted as close to 2 cm from the edge of the placenta (velamentous cord insertion).
What is the management of polyhydramnios?
Treatment may include: Drainage of excess amniotic fluid. Your health care provider may use amniocentesis to drain excess amniotic fluid from your uterus. This procedure carries a small risk of complications, including preterm labor, placental abruption and premature rupture of the membranes.
How do I reduce polyhydramnios?
Treatment may include:
- Drainage of excess amniotic fluid. Your health care provider may use amniocentesis to drain excess amniotic fluid from your uterus.
- Medication. Your health care provider may prescribe the oral medication indomethacin (Indocin) to help reduce fetal urine production and amniotic fluid volume.
Is polyhydramnios serious?
Most of the time polyhydramnios is mild and is not harmful to the baby. However, moderate to severe cases of acute polyhydramnios (in which amniotic fluid volume is high) can trigger major complications with pregnancy and birth and pose a health risk to the baby.
Can marginal cord insertion correct itself?
The good news is that sometimes marginal cord insertion will correct itself over time. In a velamentous cord insertion (VCI), the umbilical blood vessels insert into the amniotic sac instead of the placenta. This type of abnormal cord insertion is less common, occurring in only .
