title: Stillbirth: tissue findings with environmental and genetic links.
abstract: This article discusses stillbirth from a pathologist's perspective. Stillbirth may be caused by many different mechanisms. There are specific maternal and fetal disorders leading to stillbirth, and some of these have genetic and environmental associations. Frequently, an autopsy examination may determine the specific cause of the fetal death. We illustrate tissue findings in stillbirth to put individual faces on this condition.
