Atother times the spine is twisted, and the body and head divided{Schistosotnus contortiis) ; or other deformities of a similar kind, andmore or less complex, may be found. The skin follows the displace-ment of the various regions—the external surface being generally incontact—while the lining membrane of the chest or abdomen, or both,becomes external; sometimes to such an extent is this inversion of the 404 FCETAL DYSTOKIA. body carried, that it is turned, as it were, outside in ; tlie skin forminga kind of internal sac—the hair to the interior—and containing thehead and limbs of the foetus. With such a deformity, of course otherserious malformations or displacements co-exist: distorted pelvis,wasted or undeveloped limbs, atresia of the anus, more or less completeabsence of the generative organs, Fig. Cordln : Schistocoi mus Jissisternalh. This kind of monstrosity will have to be specially noticed hereafter,the eventration of the viscera of the foetus often considerably bafflingthe obstetrist; while the frequent distortion of the spine and limbsrenders delivery very difficult.
