Pulmonary venous stenosis in a premature infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: clinical and autopsy findings of these newly associated entities

Steven Christopher Smith, Raja Rabah University of Michigan Health System.United States Pediatric and Developmental PathologyPediatr Dev Pathol 2012; 15: 160-164DOI: 10.2350/11-09-1099-CR.1 AbstractPulmonary venous stenosis is rare and is most commonly found in association with cardiac malformations. Recent studies have associated pulmonary venous stenosis with prematurity, especially with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, although no such case has been documented
