Plate 29. Sagittal Female Pregnancy (upper)

THE body from which this preparation was made was quite recent, twenty-five years of age, in the last month of pregnancy, and received in the condition of rigor mortis.

The section of the lung seen in Plate XXIX is that of the right.

The soft parts of the neck are considerably dislocated towards the left side, owing to the hypertrophied thyroid body. The trachea lies so far over to the left side that only a small portion of the thyroid cartilage is met with.

The brain was divided through its right half, the radiation of the fibres of the right corpus callosum being thus shown. Beneath it is the descending cornu of the right lateral ventricle with the pes hippocampi. Beneath the dura mater, in the right half of the preparation, a portion of the Gasserian ganglion and some fibres of the fifth nerve are seen.

The relations of the skeleton, however, are of the greatest importance. I had therefore, after all. the plates were drawn, the halves of the skeleton macerated, and the parts as accurately as possible adjusted with regard to each other, as represented in the adjoining woodcut. It presents a slightly scoliosed pelvis, with a like condition of the spine. It shows moreover that the deviation of the line of section from the middle line was not so considerable as the plate might suggest. The section passed through the pelvis, as near as possible in the middle line, externally and to the right of the lumbar vertebrge, meeting the dorsal at their articulation with the* ribs, and passing again in the cervical region to the middle of the spinal column, and subsequently again to the right in the skull.
