Post mortem examination While fetal post mortem is unlikely to be of any benefit to the parents in cases of chromosomal abnormality confirmed by invasive testing, in some cases of structural anomaly this examination may yield ñirther information, which v^dll affect patient counselling about the risk of recurrence in future pregnancies. However, there is no consensus regarding which abnormalities indicate post mortem. Recent data from experienced fetal medicine scanning units suggest that this examination provides new information in only 16% of cases structural abnormality (Vogt et al, 2013). It is therefore essential that patients are given a realistic appraisal of bow much information a post mortem is likely to add in their particular case if this is a key reason for choosing medical induction. Genetic testing is possible on fetal tissue after either medical or surgical termination.
