 | Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology This is a new comprehensive reference guide, by two highly experienced practitioners, to the successful performance of paediatric autopsies and the optimal recognition and interpretation of their pathologic findings.
The authors cover such major developmental disorders as hydrops, chromosomal defects, congenital abnormalities and metabolic disorders. The reviews of the organ systems encompass the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, central nervous and skeletal systems, plus the male and female genitourinary systems, the eye and adnexa, the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes and immunodefieciency. Additional chapters address sudden infant death, cytogenetics, the medical and forensic autopsy, special procedures, cultures and infection control, and biological hazards at the autopsy. An additional CD-ROM provides colour versions of all the illustrations from the book.
