[Idiopathic arterial calcification in infancy. A literature review and presentation of one case (author's transl)].
A 26 days old male newborn, developing cardiac insufficiency followed by death, is reported. Necropsy revealed broadly spread calcifications with severe affectation to the coronary arteries. No justifying cause to those calcifications was found. Literature is reviewed, and the current state of knowledge of this uncommon disease's etiology and pathogeny is questioned.
