Abstract
Two cases of sudden death due to arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) occurring in the pediatric age group are described. One of the subjects, at the age of 7 years, is believed to be the youngest child in whom ARVD has been diagnosed at autopsy. The clinical and pathological characteristics of ARVD are discussed.Keywords
