• TITLE: Two Unusual Cases of Sudden Death in Children

  AUTHORS: Maria-Chiara Osterheld, Marie-Hélène Perez

  KEYWORDS: Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia-Like Cardiomyopathy; Fibromuscular Coronary Artery Dysplasia; Sudden Death

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Pathology, Vol.3 No.2, April 25, 2013

  ABSTRACT: We report two unusual cases of sudden unexpected death in children. Histopathologic examination showed intimal fibroplasias, a variant of fibromuscular dysplasia of the right coronary artery associated in both cases with fatty infiltration of the right ventricular myocardium. The significance of this particular combination of two lesions known to induce a sudden death in young people is discussed.
