title: Congenital stenotic arteriopathy with medial dysplasia.
abstract: An unusual, uniformly stenotic arteriopathy involving the aorta and its major branches, the pulmonary trunk, and the left and right pulmonary arteries was found in association with a persistent common atrioventricular canal in an otherwise normal stillborn female infant. The uniform arterial thickening was due to hyperplastic medial elastic laminae, which were in an orderly arrangement in the inner two thirds but dysplastic in the outer third of the media of the arteries.
