The pulmonary alveolocapillary dysplasia (ACD) with pulmonary vein misalignment (PVM) is a rare condition characterized by a congenital anomaly of the development of the pulmonary parenchyma. We present a case of an 8-month-old infant who died quickly from acute respiratory failure complicating an unknown ACD. We also describe its epidemiological characteristics in infants and we discuss the diagnosis's difficulties. In this case, a pulmonary arterial hypertension was decompensated by an infection. A medico-legal autopsy was performed. As for the Histological examination, it showed the features of ACD/PVM.
