"Weight of the child, 2 Ibs. In the thickened pia mater, and toward the frontal bone, was a small serous cyst, and near it a trace of brain. Pituitary body, as usual. In the posterior mediastinum were several organs ; the stom- ach of an elongated form, receiving the bile-duct near one extremity, and the intestine arising from the other near the opening of the oesophagus ; the small intestine, about 13 in. in length, and of which a portion passed through the opening in the spinal column, and appeared upon the back of the child as a mass about as large as the top of the thumb ; a diverticulum .arose from this last portion of in- testine, 1 in. in length, and 4 inches from the stomach ; the pancreas and spleen, with a small mass accessory to this last. The oesophagus was, of course, quite short. Before the dissection the protruded intestine was invested by a membrane about as thick as the spinal theca would have been, and to which it was somewhat adherent ; there were also extensive adhesions to the mediastinum. The opening in the diaphragm, through which the organs passed, was near the spine, and small. Renal capsules exceedingly small. Large intestine 8 in. in length. Lungs small, and very imperfectly divided into lobes. Uvula slightly bifid. 1858.
