Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins and anterior segment dysgenesis of the eye: a report of a new association and review of the literature

J Perinatol. 2001 Jul-Aug;21(5):327-30. doi: 10.1038/sj.jp.7200494.

Abstract

The association of alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD-MPV) and ocular abnormalities has not been previously reported. We present a case of ACD-MPV and anterior segment dysgenesis of the eye in a full-term infant as well as a review of the relevant literature.
