Coronary thrombosis with myocardial infarction in a newborn infant. Clinical, electrocardiographic and post-mortem findings.

CORONARY occlusion with myocardial infarction has been reported several times from the newborn period through childhood. In most cases it has been due to inflammatory disease or medial calcification of the coronary arteries. Stryker1 has reviewed these rare diseases. A second area of interest in the coronary arteries of infants has been related to foci of intimal irregularity and thickening seen in many newborn infants. Such intimal changes have been suggested as a possible factor in the genesis of coronary arteriosclerosis in the adult.2 3 4 5 The following case is exceptional, because of the relation of a coronary-artery thrombus to such an . . .
