Spalding's sign
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Spalding's sign is a sign used in obstetrics.[1] It is named for Alfred Baker Spalding.[2][3]
It is an indicator of fetal death.[4] When fetal death has occurred, abdominal sonar examination may reveal an overriding of the fetal cranial bones.[5] Most estimates place the precise time of fetal death at about 4–7 days before overlapping and separation of the fetal skull bones appear.[6]
