Large yolk sac is a poor prognostic sign #ultrasound #pregnant #babyAdded:
A large yolk sac is a poor prognostic sign. This ultrasound shows an 8-week pregnancy that stopped developing at 6 weeks.
Inside the uterine cavity, a gestational sac with a single embryo is visualized.
The crown-rump length of the embryo is 3 mm, corresponding to 6 weeks of pregnancy.
No fetal heartbeat is detected.
The yolk sac measures 9.2 mm.
Normally, the yolk sac should not exceed 6 mm at this gestational age.
This is one of the indicators of a normally developing pregnancy.
