- Synopsis
- Pediatric forensic pathology is particularly challenging, in part because most clinicians and pathologists don't very often come across the many rare causes of death possible among children. This text offers an abundantly illustrated resource, updated and substantially expanded for this third edition. Unintentional and intentional trauma, sudden infant death syndrome, and maternal, fetal, and neonatal conditions are addressed in individual chapters. The bulk of the coverage is of natural disease including infectious, cardiac, vascular, respiratory, neurological, hematological, gastrointestinal and genitourinary, metabolic and endocrine, and miscellaneous conditions. Nine appendices supplement the text including autopsy checklists, growth and organ weight charts, and autopsy standards and protocols. Roger W. Byard is affiliated with the U. of Adelaide, Australia.
