In certain cases, postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PM-MRI) can obviate the need for formal autopsy and dissection by providing high-quality imaging which can guide tissue sampling. Percutaneous needle organ biopsy to obtain tissue samples for microscopic examination, as part of the less-invasive perinatal autopsy, has been described previously1 and endoscopicor laparoscopic-guided sampling has also been piloted2. We present a case of congenital malformation in
