Objectives: After studying the article titled “Prenatal Diagnosis of a Cyst of the Canal of Nuck Associated With an Ovarian Cyst and Acute Polyhydramnios as Malignancy,” you will be able to:
Describe the embryology of the inguinal canal
Identify the two main categories of the canal of Nuck abnormalities
Discuss the sonographic and clinical features of fetal ovarian cysts
The structure that would eventually be named the canal of Nuck was first described in: 1492 1691 1895 1953
What are the two main fetal structures that contribute to the prenatal development of the inguinal canal? Diencephalon and mesencephalon Vitelline duct and umbilical arteries Gubernaculum and processus vaginalis Omphaloenteric duct and mesogastrium
The processus vaginalis may remain patent in approximately what percentage of full-term babies? 10%-20% 30%-40% 50%-60% 80%-90%
A cyst of the canal Nuck is also known as: Infantile hydrocele Scrotal hydrocele Female hydrocele Male hydrocele
What percentage of hernias in female infants contain ovary? 3%-5% 15%-20% 35%-40% 50%-55%
Which of the following female hydroceles classification type is the most commonly occurring in the presence of a cyst in the canal of Nuck that does not communicate with the peritoneal cavity? Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4
In the study evaluated by Nakamura et al., what percentage of fetal ovarian cysts regressed in utero? 9% 15% 42% 75%
