ABSTRACT
The advances made in the field of prenatal diagnosis, consideration of the fetus as a patient and the increasing importance of developmental pathology have fostered an interest in improving the quality of embryo and fetal necropsy, both when there are suspected abnormalities and in cases of intrauterine death1-5. Although desirable in all cases, this is especially important when the product of gestation has been aborted through a legal termination of pregnancy performed owing to the prenatal diagnosis of a supposed congenital defect.
