- Abstract
Being the most useful investigation for stillbirths, perinatal autopsy discovers additional diagnoses beyond clinical suspicions in almost half of cases and contributes to the family by investigating the cause of death, determining the severity of malformation, reducing risk for existing children, and planning future pregnancies.[1] However, most parents refuse autopsy due to the grief for the dissection processing and religion issue, leading to low autopsy uptake rates.[2] Providing noninvasive screen and less invasive sampling, imaging or endoscopic examination combined with minimally invasive autopsy is more acceptable than traditional autopsy although the accuracy remains to be improved due to potential sampling errors[2] and image misinterpretation.[3] Alternatively, postmortem fetal magnetic resonance imaging (PMFMRI) has become a widely accepted imaging modality for fetal and perinatal deaths as it provides whole body examination with high diagnostic accuracy for perinatal abnormalities.[4] It remains to be answered whether the exact postmortem interval (PMI), i.e., the time interval between the fetal death and the PMFMRI, could be determined.
