AXIAL SECTIONS AS A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE TO CLASSICAL DISSECTION OF SMALL FETUSES (Abstract): Dissection of small fetuses (less than 10 weeks of pregnancy) can be a very difficult task for the general pathologist. We propose a dissection method based on performing axial sections of the three main cavities of the body (skull, thorax and abdominal cavity), preserving most of the relations between organs. Also, this method proved to outline some elements and tissues difficult to highlight through classical autopsy, like the spinal cord or cerebral aqueducts.
