Abstract:

60 autopsy cases of the fetus and the neonate, whose mother suffered from toxemia of pregnancy were analyzed in this paper. Influence of toxemia of pregnancy on the fetus and the neonate in regard to the intrauterine growth and the causes of death was studied.Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was commonly seen in the fetus and the neonate, whose mother suffered from toxemia of pregnancy.Disturbances of blood circulation of the mother and anoxia, ischemia. infarction and premature separation of the placenta exert their influences on the intrauterine growth of the fetus and may lead to IUGR, intrauterine anoxia, prematurity of the newborn, fetal death and stillbirth.
