A case of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease in a male infant who died at the age of 3 months is presented. Both intra- and extrapulmonary veins were involved. Two years earlier a brother had died of the same disease at the age of 8 weeks, but, in that case, the disease was restricted to the intrapulmonary veins. It is suggested that the disease may have been caused by a viral infection, the mother acting as a carrier. The simultaneous occurrence of intra- and extraparenchymal pulmonary vein occlusion indicates that some instances of isolated extraparenchymal pulmonary vein atresia or obstruction may also have been examples of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease.
本文报告了一例3个月大男婴死于肺静脉闭塞病的病例。肺内和肺外静脉均受累。两年前，该男婴的一个哥哥在8周龄时死于同一种疾病，但在那个病例中，疾病仅限于肺内静脉。提示该疾病可能由病毒感染引起，母亲为携带者。肺实质内和肺实质外肺静脉闭塞同时出现表明，一些孤立的肺实质外肺静脉闭锁或阻塞病例也可能是肺静脉闭塞病的实例。
