title: New trends in "mystery SIDS" research.
abstract: The aim of this study is to suggest some new trends of research in SIDS, leaving from the pathologist's observations of the presence of unusual lesions in SIDS. The histopathological study was made on 27 cases of SD, representing 1996 SIDS cases registered to hospital. There were put in evidence the oesophageal inflammation, the hyperplasia of submucosal laryngeal glands, different grades of bronchiolar mucous hypersecretion and reducing of elastic lung tissue and the hypertrophy of muscular lung small arteries. This lesions are frequently encountered to SIDS cases.
