The chorion is normal in appearance and in structure. The 
cord of the embryo shows a marked constriction, which in 
sections appears to be fibrous. The embryo in general is 
normal in appearance, with the blood-vessels well distended 
with blood. The central nervous system is dissociated and 
somewhat macerated. The wall of the heart ventricle is also 
dissociated, that is, it is infiltrated with round cells.
