RESUMO
A case is presented of a male infant aged 8 weeks at the time of his death with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. Almost all pulmonary veins and venules were narrowed or obstructed by intimal fibrosis with such a pronounced deposition of collagen and elastic tissue that an intrauterine origin of these lesions appeared likely. Bronchial veins and anastomoses between pulmonary and bronchial veins were also affected.
