[Sudden infant death (SIDS): a case with multiple accessory atrioventricular pathways].
A 4-month-old infant dying suddenly is diagnosed as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Important modifications of the cardiac conduction system were found, consisting of conspicuous accessory atrioventricular (AV) pathways of Mahaim and Kent type, which can be regarded as arrhythmogenic in nature.
