Abstract
Whole body radiographs were made in a consecutive series of 488 infants who were either stillborn or died within the first month of life; autopsies were done in 378. The radiographs were considered to have been useful, or diagnostic in 16% overall, in 100% of infants with dwarfism, in 40% where there were external malformations; and in 9% where there were no external malformations.
