Abstract
Widespread arterial calcification was shown at necropsy in an infant who died at age 5 days and whose twin was acardiac. The changes resembled closely those described in idiopathic arterial calcification of infancy and the possible importance of haemodynamic factors in the production of these changes is discussed.
