Overall, Ehrenfest stressed that many conditions previously regarded as congenital, simply because they existed from birth, were, in fact, traumatic injuries. He maintained that the obstetrician had a two-fold obligation in regard to such injuries. The first of these was prevention. He observed that the incidence of serious injuries decreased in proportion to the expertise of the attending obstetrician and the avoidance of 'heroic' obstetrical intervention. Second, he maintained that should such injuries occur it was the obstetrician's duty to diagnose them, which often required a careful autopsy" (Ashwal, Founders of Child Neurology, pp. 484-88; see 483-95).…
