The specialists of Autopsy Pathology are known for their expertise in arriving at diagnoses in routine and complicated autopsies. We provide services in the following areas: Adult Autopsy, Pediatric Autopsy, and Neuropathology Autopsy. Autopsies for adult and pediatric may be organ/region directed, full-body, and full-body including the brain.
Families may benefit from the autopsy in several ways:
- Providing important information for the settling of insurance claims or death benefits.
- Establishing the diagnosis of a work-related condition which might lead to compensation for the family.
- General knowledge gained by the autopsy may help to discover new treatment or to avoid some therapeutic measures with unwanted side effects.
- Provide closure.
Dr. Miguel Reyes Mugica currently serves as the Director of Autopsy Services.
Pediatric Autopsy
Please refer to Pediatric Pathology section.
Discovering inherited or familial diseases allows families to be screened and to prevent diseases to progress without treatment. Genetic counseling can then be arranged to allow parents to weigh the risk of recurrence for autosomal dominant and recessive conditions, especially if additional pregnancies are planned.
Placenta for Stillborn
For stillborn, examination of the placenta will be performed, when available.
Neuropathology
Examination of brains for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders.
