This much-needed text will fill an important gap for the practicing obstetrician in connecting what is seen on ultrasound before delivery with what is seen grossly at delivery, how this is interpreted and reported by the pathologist, and its clinical relevance for the obstetrician. With the increasing need for clinicians to understand pathological correlation, this will be an essential reference for both obstetricians in general practice and trainees; perinatal pathologists will also find this an invaluable guide to what their colleagues need to know.
