Studies in Fœtal Pathology and Teratology: Allantoido-Angiopagous Twins—The Fœtus Amorphus Mylacephalus

Studies in Fœtal Pathology and Teratology: Allantoido - Angiopagous Twins — Description of an Anidean Fœtus

Having in a previous series of communications1 considered in detail the members of the first great division of allantoidoangiopagous twins?those, namely, to which the general name paracephalus has been given?I ought now in logical sequence to take up the study of the acephali, which form the second division; but, as I have not myself been able yet to dissect a specimen of this kind, I shall lea...

Studies in Fœtal Pathology and Teratology

I have reserved for separate consideration the dropsical foetus born along with a healthy infant, for its characters appear to differ in a marked manner from those met with when the (edematous foetus is the sole result of the pregnancy. Sometimes general dropsy is found in a twin developed within a separate chorion and with a separate placenta; but it is much more commonly met with in the monoc...

Dystocias Due to Anomalies of the Fœtus Associated with Dilatation of the Fœtal Urinary Bladder

On Cranial Stress in the Fœtus during Labour and on the Effects of Excessive Stress on the Intracranial Contents; with an Analysis of Eighty-One Cases of Torn Tentorium Cerebelli and Subdural Cerebral Hæmorrhage *Part of an investigation, undertaken and paid for by the Local Government Board (late), into the "Causation of Fœtal Death."

THE frequent discovery of tears of the dura mater septa associated with subdural cerebral haemorrhage, in foetuses dying during the course of labour, was one of the most striking features of this investigation. Out of 168 fresh foetuses the tentorium cerebelliwas found torn in8i (48 per cent.), associated with tearing of the falx cerebri in five cases and with subdural cerebral haemorrhage in a...

Obstetrics and Gynæcology—Why Does the Fœtus Present by the Cephalic Extremity?—The Treatment of Fœtal Impaction by Cleidotomy—Accidents during Curettage

Why does this Fcetus present by the Cephalic Extremity. (Glasgow Medical Journal, June 1895).?Dr. Anstruther Davidson attempts to answer this much-vexed question. He thinks that Simpson's theory is pretty but doubtful and believes that the ovoid shape of the uterus has little effect on the presentation of the foetus ?that in fact the uterus is compelled by the position of the foetus to assume t...
