Abstract

Pediatric autopsy studies serve as invaluable tools in understanding the comlsplex dynamics of childhood mortality, shedding light on the underlying causes and contributing factors. In this study, we assess five cases of pediatric autopsies performed at a tertiary care center, examining the clinical presentations, pathological findings and causes of death among deceased infants. The cause of death in each case is revealed upon detailed his to pathological examination and has been discussed in detail. This case series underscores the necessity for a systematic approach to autopsy examinations and emphasizes the techniques utilized during the autopsy process within the institution. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of pediatric mortality patterns and highlights the importance of autopsy examination in elucidating the complex etiology of childhood deaths. The findings gleaned from this case series have significant implications for clinical management, epidemiological surveillance and public health interventions aimed at reducing childhood mortality rates globally.
