Endotracheal or nasotracheal intubation can be difficult in preterm infants in an intensive care environment, with a high rate of endobronchial tube placement. We measured tracheal length and diameter in a population of post mortem fetuses to define the relationship between gestational age or body weight and tracheal size, in order to see whether this could help future tube selection or correct placement.

The overall incidence of birth trauma ranges from 2-3%, with the large majority consisting of superficial soft tissue injury. Musculoskeletal birth trauma tends to occur most commonly around the shoulder, with clavicle and brachial plexus injuries representing the majority of MSK trauma. Perinatal long bone fractures are quite rare, with most affecting the humeral/femoral diaphysis. Physeal fractures represent an even more uncommon entity and can be radiographically occult due to non-ossification of the epiphysis in neonates. In our educational poster, we present a variety of perinatal fractures of the physis which were initially occult on radiograph, but became evident on further workup with MR. Read More

At our institution there is not possible to perform a perinatal autopsy. Also, there is usually parental resistance to this procedure, especially in cases of stillbirths or perinatal deaths. To address this issue, in 2018, we introduced a protocol of Postmortem Perinatal MRI (PPMRI) in cases where no known or suspected cause of death was identified in antenatal studies, and the gestational age exceeded 22 weeks. This communication aims to share our experience with the utilization of PPMRI, either as a standalone diagnostic tool or as part of a minimally invasive autopsy protocol. Read More
