Cardiospasm in infancy and in childhood has been regarded, until recently, as a comparatively rare disease. Thirty-four of 691 consecutive cases recently reviewed by Moersch¹ at the Mayo Clinic occurred in children under 14 years of age, and 3 occurred during the first year of life. Messeloff and his associates² found eleven more cases in the literature, the youngest of these patients being 2 months. In several of these patients the histories suggested the possibility of the presence of cardiospasm within a few days or weeks after birth.
