Abstract
We have described an infant who died on the third day of life with typical hyaline membrane disease in all portions of the lung perfused by the pulmonary artery. The inferior portion of the left lower lobe, which was separately perfused by three aberrant vessels from the aorta, was emphysematous and had no hyaline membranes. It seems likely that the inequalities in oxygenation of the lung played a role in the localization of the disease.Keywords
