| Popis: | INTRODUCTION Neonatal autopsy is a valuable, critical diagnostic method to provide genetic counseling for future pregnancies. POPULATION AND METHODS Retrospective study including all neonatal autopsies performed on deceased neonates at Clinica y Maternidad Suizo Argentina between January 1998 and December 2006. The rate of autopsies was established; the diagnosis indicated in the medical record was compared to autopsy findings. RESULTS Out of 227 deceased infants, 135 autopsies were performed (rate: 59.5%). Concordance was complete in 25% of autopsies. New information was found in 26%, which had significant implications for genetic counseling. CONCLUSIONS The rate of autopsies was 59.5%. Pathological and clinical correlation and unsuspected findings with implications for genetic counseling demonstrate the relevance of performing neonatal autopsies systematically. |
