A case of acardius amorphus is reported. The rarity of foetal monsters without a functioning heart is emphasized and the method of classification reviewed. The theories of teratogenesis are discussed. Evidence is presented in support of the theory that there is a primary failure of the organ to develop. The possibility of anoxia and nutritional deficiency of the foetus being solely responsible for the malformation seems unlikely.
报告了一例无心无定形胎儿的病例。强调了无功能心脏的胎儿畸形的罕见性,并回顾了分类方法。讨论了致畸发生的理论。提出了证据支持器官发育原发性失败的理论。胎儿缺氧和营养缺乏是畸形的唯一原因的可能性似乎不大。
