Postmortem evaluation following an in utero fetal demise is essential for determining cause of death and counseling regarding future pregnancies. Severe maceration and fetal size along with patient desires may limit the physician's ability to perform a complete autopsy. In the cases presented, we demonstrate the utility of postmortem ultrasonography as an adjunct to traditional autopsy following fetal demise.
胎儿宫内死亡后的尸检评估对于确定死因以及为未来妊娠提供咨询至关重要。严重的浸软、胎儿大小以及患者的意愿可能会限制医生进行完整尸检的能力。在本文所呈现的病例中，我们展示了尸检超声检查作为胎儿死亡后传统尸检辅助手段的实用性。
