ID: exh74633a
This stock medical exhibit features the following images: 1. Sagittal cut-section view through the maternal pelvis and uterus showing the fetus fully engaged with the head tightly wedged in the pelvic outlet. The head appears slightly molded in appearance. Internally the structures of the fetal brain and it's major vessels are ghosted. 2. Coronal view of the fetal head, brain and vessels again showing the molding of the head with arrows pointing inward representing the increased intracranial pressure due to prolonged pelvic wedging. 3. A final detailed view of the take-off of the left middle cerebral artery and surrounding brain tissue showing the reduced bloodflow into that region of the brain resulting in a dusky-dark appearance to the brain tissue.
