Introduction: The study of congenital malformations in fetuses is essential to reduce not only the incidence of still born fetuses but also infant mortality. The birth of a child with congenital malformations has a very traumatic outcome on the family. The study of congenital malformations on live born neonates cannot provide a proper outlook. The present study emphasized the importance of thorough study on the still born fetuses. 100 still born fetuses were dissected and examined to record the incidence of congenital anomalies in major systems. Congenital malformations were seen in 36% of cases. Central nervous system was the commonest system involved followed by the musculoskeletal system. The above findings were discussed in comparison with available literature. |
