BLIGHTED OVUM

#Blighted-#Ovum

A blighted ovum (also known as “anembryonic pregnancy”) happens when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, but the embryo does not develop. Cells develop to form the pregnancy sac(gestational sac), but not the embryo itself.

A blighted ovum occurs within the first trimester, often before a woman knows she is pregnant.

👉Case Study-

#UltraSound-#Finding:

1-Bulky uterus containing an irregularly shaped gestational sac with abnormal contour and irregular margins with no embryonic pole or yolk sac seen within it.

2-GSD = 28mm. GA.

3-Both adnexae are free.

4-Internal os is closed.

5-The POD is empty.

👉Conclusion:

Features are highly suggestive of Blighted ovum at early pregacy.
