Cosentino mentions a case of the absence of liquor amnii associated with a fetal monstrosity.
Delivery After Death of the Mother .-- Curious indeed are those anomalous cases in which the delivery is effected spontaneously after the death of the mother, or when, by manipulation, the child is saved after the maternal decease.

Wegelin gives the account of a birth in which version was performed after death and the child successfully delivered.
Bartholinus, Wolff, Schenck, Horstius, Hagendorn, Fabricius Hildanus, Valerius, Rolfinck, Cornarius, Boener, and other older writers cite cases of this kind.

Pinard gives a most wonderful case.

The patient was a woman of thirty-eight who had experienced five previous normal labors.

On October 27th she fancied she had labor pains and went to the Lariboisiere Maternite, where, after a careful examination, three fetal poles were elicited, and she was told, to her surprise, of the probability of triplets.
