ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to analyze the second-trimester fetal autopsies and to reemphasize the role of autopsy by comparing autopsy findings with prenatal ultrasound observations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of second-trimester fetal autopsies over a period of 7.5 years (January 2009–June 2016). A standard protocol of autopsy procedure was followed, which included external examination with photography, X-ray, internal examination, and histopathological examination. In fetuses with congenital malformations (CMs), the findings of prenatal ultrasonogram and autopsy examination were compared. RESULTS: We analyzed a total of 66 fetuses, which includes 17 intrauterine fetal death, 49 terminations for CM, and increased risk for chromosomal abnormality. In fetuses with CM, multiple anomalies were more common than a single anomaly. The most common anomalies were seen involving central nervous system (neural tube defect) followed by the genitourinary system. Autopsy confirmed prenatal ultrasound findings in all cases except three. Complete agreement between USG findings and autopsy were seen in 17 cases (39.7%). Additional findings on autopsy were noted in 25 cases (62.2%). Among these, 15 cases had a significant change of recurrence risk due to altered initial ultrasound diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Fetal autopsy plays an important role in arriving at the final diagnosis and detecting the cause of death. This information is very essential for the clinicians, in genetic counseling of the parents, and management of future pregnancies.

Occipital Encephalocele

The case of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal superior occipital encephalocele at 19 weeks of gestation is presented. The pregnancy was terminated at 20 weeks of gestation. An external examination of the abortus confirmed the prenatal ultrasound diagnosis.

Atrial Isomerism

Two cases of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of left atrial isomerism in the second trimester of gestation is presented. These two cases were in combination with pulmonary atresia and right aortic arch. Left atrial isomerism was identify by the digit-like shape of the left and right atrial appendages. The pulmonary atresia was identified on the basis of reverse flow in small pulmonary artery. A right aortic was identified by “U”-shaped confluence of aorta and ductus arteriosus in view of three vessels and trachea. The trachea was located between the vessels. The pregnancies were terminated and prenatal diagnosis was conformed at autopsy

Fibular Hemimelia

A case of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fibular hemimelia, type I associated with oligodactyly of the foot at 22 weeks of gestation is presented. Ultrasound examination at 22 weeks of gestation revealed hypoplasia of the left fibula and the foot oligodactyly. After prenatal counseling, the patient opted for termination of pregnancy. During external examination of the abortus asymmetry of the lower extremities due to shortening of the left lower leg and oligodactyly of the left foot were noted, those confirmed prenatal ultrasound data.
