Abstract
The authors present a case of stillbirth in which histologic
examination of the placenta provides the opportunity to make a definitive
diagnosis of a death due to fetal thrombotic vasculopathy (FTV). Establishing
the etiology in cases of stillbirth may avoid medical malpractice litigation.
The better knowledge of the cause of stillbirths also helped obstetricians
to recognize factors that could have prejudiced future pregnancies
