Is Traditional Perinatal Autopsy Needed After Detailed Fetal Ultrasound and Postmortem MRI?

(Abstracted from Prenat Diagn 2019;39:818–829) Investigation after birth of fetal anomalies detected on prenatal ultrasound (US) is important, particularly after termination of pregnancy or fetal or perinatal loss, in terms of significant implications for genetic counseling, subsequent reproductive choices, and other family members. Confirmation of perinatal findings can traditionally be confirmed at a perinatal autopsy, but only 40% of parents consent to this procedure.
