Abstract
Intrauterine pulmonary infarction is extremely rare. In a series of 77 5 stillborn and newborn infants, only a few cases of acute pulmonary i nfarction were reported. The authors present the findings from a full- term infant who died at 9 hours of age of a chronic pulmonary infarcti on. Several pathogenic mechanisms, including the entry of placental th romboplastin into the fetal circulation, are discussed.
