RESUMO
Maternal autoimmune disease is the most common cause of congenital heart block (CHB), a rare illness characterized by fibrosis and calcification of the fetal atrioventricular (AV) node due to maternal autoantibodies anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La. We report the full autopsy and clinical information on a female neonate with high degree AV block and calcification in the AV node, atrial approaches to the AV node, and both right and left bundle branches, born to a 27-year-old female with subclinical autoimmune disease.
