| Abstract: | This paper deals with morphological methods for diagnostics of pre-, intra-, and postnatal asphyxia in newborn infants. Parallels between clinical and morphological characteristics in fatal cases resulting from this condition are described. The analysis of the voluminous literature has demonstrated the imperative necessity to broaden the scope of diagnostic morphological and pathomorphological methods for the study of newborn baby corpses in order to elucidate the causes of death or clarify whether a baby was born alive or stillborn. |
