GYNECOLOGY 8TH EDITION ACTUAL
EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⩥ Hydrocephaly. Answer: abnormal accumulation of spinal fluid in the
brain
⩥ basal ganglia. Answer: a set of subcortical structures that directs
intentional movements
⩥ Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Answer: Women who are
undergoing ovarian induction are at increased risk for this. Ovaries can
enlarge often measuring 5-12cm. The ovary will also contain multiple
large theca lutein cysts. In severe cases patients will have nausea,
vomiting, an abdominal distension, ovarian enlargement, an electrolyte
imbalance, and oliguria, with sonographic signs of ascites and pleural
effusions.
⩥ Clomid. Answer: a fertility drug that is used to stimulate ovulation
and that has been associated with multiple births
⩥ theca lutein cyst. Answer: Often bilateral/multiple. Due to
gonadotropin stimulation. Associated with choriocarcinoma and moles.
,⩥ choriocarcinoma. Answer: cancerous tumor of the chorion
⩥ chorion. Answer: Outermost layer of the two membranes surrounding
the embryo; it forms the fetal part of the placenta.
⩥ Holoprosencephaly. Answer: a group of brain abnormalities consisting
of varying degrees of fusion of the lateral ventricles(monoventricle),
absence of the midline structures, associated facial anomalies, fused
thalami. Most often associated with hypotelorism, cebocephaly,
ethmocephaly, cyclopia, and cleft lip with or without cleft palate.
⩥ Hypotelorism. Answer: condition in which the orbits are close
together
⩥ Hypertelorism. Answer: Orbits spaced widely apart
⩥ Cebocephaly. Answer: Congenital anomalies of the head due to
teratogens or development disruptions of the nervous system. It's a form
of holoprosencephaly characterized by a common
ventricle(monoventricle), hypotelorism, and a nose with a single nostril.
⩥ Ethmocephaly. Answer: a condition in which there is no nose and a
proboscis separating two close-set orbits; associated with
holoprosencephaly
, ⩥ Cyclopia. Answer: congenital anomaly characterized by a single orbit
⩥ Sirenomelia. Answer: Fusion of legs; bilateral renal agenesis is
associated with this.
⩥ Bladder Flap Hematoma. Answer: Collection of blood between the
bladder and lower-uterine segment, resulting from a lower-uterine
transverse cesarean section and bleeding from the uterine vessels.
⩥ Cystic teratoma. Answer: MC benign germ cell tumor (<1%
malignant); hair/teeth; calcifications; has tip of iceberg sign: only the
anterior element of the mass is seen, while the greater part of the mass is
obscured by shadowing.
⩥ dermoid cyst. Answer: congenital tumor composed of displaced
embryonic tissue (teeth, bone, cartilage, and hair); typically found in an
ovary and usually benign; only the anterior element of the mass is seen,
while the greater part of the mass is obscured by shadowing.
⩥ Dermoid mesh sign. Answer: appearance on ultrasound is of multiple
small hyperechoic lines and dots within the cyst forming a "mesh‐like"
picture.
