description Although not proved, it is generally accepted that pulmonary vasospasm is responsible for the persistent pulmonary hypertension frequently associated with meconium aspiration. We have studied the pulmonary vasculature in 11 consecutive infants with fatal meconium aspiration, applying morphometric techniques to pulmonaryarteries distended with barium gelatin before fixation. In 10 of the 11 infants, persistent pulmonary hypertension was evident clinically, with right-to-left shunting through the foramen ovale or ductus arteriosus. In all but one, severe structural abnormal muscularization of the smallest intra-acinar arteries was present. These changes must have developed before birth. In only one infant was the structure of the intra-acinar precapillary arteries virtually normal, as would be expected if vasospasm alone had caused the hypertension. The persistent pulmonary hypertension associated with fatal meconium aspiration may be the result of a structurally abnormal pulmonary microcirculation.
