Dr. Bruce J. Stringer answered

Specializes in Radiology

Yolk Sac?: If you mean the yolk sac, this structure regresses normally and is not visible by 10 wks. If the sac of fluid surrounding the fetus was no longer present then this would be a very serious finding indication premature rupture of the sac or problems with the fetal kidney system. Which do you mean?
