Question 1

what are the symptoms of placenta infarction?

Accepted Answer

HTN, FGR, oligo.: Placental infarction is a pathologically determined diagnosis that underlies a multitude of adverse perinatal outcomes such as fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, placental failure, preeclampsia/hypertension and placental abruption. It has symptoms of preeclampsia, small uterus and stillbirth.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: placenta infarction?

Accepted Answer

Death of placnt. seg: When an area which is fed by a set of blood vessels loses that blood supply it dies.  In the absence of infection this tissue will eventually degenerate and be replaced by scar tissue, so it is easy to identify after delivey when looking at the placenta.

Question 3

what is the treatment for placenta infarction?

Accepted Answer

Here are my thoughts: Placental infarcts, if they occur in an ongoing pregnancy, would lead me to have concern for the well being of the fetus. So addressing the underlying disease that caused the infarcts is important. In addition testing of the fetus for its well being should occur. I might also treat the mom so that the fetus received the best placental function possible, examples: rest, hydration & possibly oxygen.

Question 4

is it possible for you to see a placental infarction on an ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to see: Most placental infacts are difficult to see on ultrasound.Sometimes they may be seen as a hypoechoic region affecting the placenta.

Question 6

what are the differences between ischaemia and infarction in terms of definition,cause and clinical example?

Accepted Answer

Dead tissue: heart pain of ischemia is angina and is reversible.
Heart pain of infarction is a heart attack and dead muscle.
Both are caused by atherosclerosis commonly, and low oxygen to the tissue.
Similar with brain TIA and stroke.

Question 7

myocardial infarction causes?

Accepted Answer

Many poss causes: Almost all heart attacks are the result of fatty deposits on the inside of arteries that break open and cause clotting which will blocks the artery (and the blood from flowing to the part of the heart the artery feeds).  Family history, fatty diet, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and other disorders can all contribute to this process.

Question 8

what causes cerebral infarction?

Accepted Answer

Cerebral infarct: Cerebral infarction, or stroke, occurs due to suddenly decreased blood supply to part of the brain.  This is common when a piece of arterial debris or a blood clot lodges in a small artery.

The risk factors for stroke are smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high blood sugar, and arterial disease.

Question 9

what causes a splenic infarction?

Accepted Answer

No Blood to Spleen: A splenic infarction occurs when there is not enough blood going to the spleen to give it nutrients & oxygen its cells need to survive. Anything that cuts off blood supply to the spleen can cause an infarct. Ex. Trauma causing blood vessels to be destroyed, sickle cell anemia & other problems that lead to clogged arteries going to the spleen, autoimmune disease, blood cell disease, emboli, etc.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The pons is one of the most frequent locations for lacunar infarcts in hypertensive and/or diabetic patients. In the context of a motor vehicle accident, this sound like a preexisting condition.
