title: [Central nervous system malformations in autopsy material].
abstract: As a result of the autopsy reports of a twenty-year-period from 1960 to 1979 there were 5.5 per cent (n = 251) malformations of the central nervous system among the 4561 autopsies of still-born children and live-born ones up to their 16th year of age. Hydrocephalus predominates followed by disturbances of migration and dysraphias in head and spinal region. The malformations were classified and discussed according to nature, combinations and sex differences as well as with respect to importance for mortality, territorial and time distribution.
