Abstract
A histologic study of the lung was done in 13 infants with congenital severe pulmonary venous obstruction. In six of these, dilated veins were apparent within the walls and in relation to the cartilaginous bronchi. In three of the latter six an additional and unusual formation was present. This took the form of dilated veins within the parenchyma of the lung and related to the non cartilaginous bronchi and associated arteries. The latter formation is considered a histologic extreme in the presence of bronchial veins serving as collaterals to pulmonary venous obstruction.
