The pulmonary alveolocapillary dysplasia (ACD) with pulmonary vein misalignment (PVM) is a rare condition characterized by a congenital anomaly of the development of the pulmonary parenchyma. We present a case of an 8-month-old infant who died quickly from acute respiratory failure complicating an unknown ACD. We also describe its epidemiological characteristics in infants and we discuss the diagnosis's difficulties. In this case, a pulmonary arterial hypertension was decompensated by an infection. A medico-legal autopsy was performed. As for the Histological examination, it showed the features of ACD/PVM.
伴有肺静脉错位(PVM)的肺泡毛细血管发育不良(ACD)是一种罕见疾病,其特征为肺实质发育的先天性异常。我们报告一例8个月大的婴儿,因不明原因的ACD并发急性呼吸衰竭而迅速死亡。我们还描述了其在婴儿中的流行病学特征,并讨论了诊断的困难之处。在该病例中,肺动脉高压因感染而失代偿。进行了法医尸检。组织学检查显示为ACD/PVM的特征。
