Abstract
SUCCESSFUL post-mortem cesarean sections performed on patients who have died from various causes have not been frequently reported in the past. In all the medical literature there are fewer than 100 cases recorded. Rescuing a living baby from a patient who has died of pulmonary tuberculosis is relatively uncommon, one of the earliest successful cases having been described by Huguier1 in 1829. The following case is presented because of the scarcity of such reports and because it is believed to be the first in this country.Case ReportB. W., an 18-year-old Negress, was admitted to the Rutland State Sanatorium . . .Keywords
