Two cases of unexplained plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy in infancy were studied by patho-anatomical approach. The patients were boys, age 7 months and 2 years 2 months. Pulmonary arteries revealed Grade 3 and Grade 4 hypertensive changes, respectively, after Heath and Edwards' criteria. The configuration of the media of the pulmonary trunk suggested that though these cases were very young, pulmonary arterial pressure had been elevated since some time after birth.
采用病理解剖学方法对两例婴儿期不明原因的丛状肺血管病进行了研究。患者均为男性，年龄分别为7个月和2岁2个月。根据希思和爱德华兹的标准，肺动脉分别显示出3级和4级高血压性改变。肺动脉主干中膜的形态表明，尽管这些病例年龄很小，但肺动脉压力自出生后一段时间就已升高。
