Özet
Generalised arterial calcification of infancy, an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by abnormal calcification of medium and large-sized arteries, represents a rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. We present the case of a two-month-old girl diagnosed posthumously with dilated cardiomyopathy. Studies suggest that early initiation of treatment can improve prognosis in generalised arterial calcification of infancy, so clinicians should be alert to the condition, especially in patients displaying generalised narrowing of medium and large-sized arteries.
