Arteriohepatic dysplasia: familial pulmonary arterial stenosis with neonatal liver disease

Arch Dis Child. 1973 Jun;48(6):459-66. doi: 10.1136/adc.48.6.459.

Abstract

A new syndrome is described of which the salient features are (1) congenital hypoplasia and stenoses of the pulmonary arteries, sometimes with associated cardiovascular malformations; (2) neonatal liver disease, commonly with obstructive jaundice and resembling biliary atresia or neonatal hepatitis, but sometimes apparent only as mild persistent hepatic dysfunction; and (3) various minor congenital anomalies, including an odd facies. There is a familial tendency suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance, with variable penetrance.
