Perinatal Autopsy Manual

Provides a practical but complete guide for the performance of perinatal autopsies. It is simple enough to be used routinely by pathologists with limited facilities. On the other hand, it is complete enough to provide pathologists in major medical centers with a reliable, basic outline. Addresses primarily the autopsy of the fetus or newborn which has reached the stage of viability, however the techniques described are also useful in the examination of a fetus as premature as 9 or 10 weeks fertilization age.
