title: [Acute myocardial infarction in a 5-year-old boy].
abstract: We present the case of a child five and half years-old that died suddenly due to an acute myocardial infarction. The anatomopathological study showed a total obstruction of the left coronary ostium by mixoide dysplasia of the aortic valve. We revise the literature and briefly expose the more frequent causes of infarction in infancy.
