Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis: An Uncommon Cause of Chronic Renal Failure

Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease that affects both the liver and kidneys.  Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is an autosomal recessive inherited malformation defined pathologically by a variable degree of periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. Affected individuals also have impaired renal function, usually caused, in children and teenagers, by an...

Bilateral Congenital Aplasia of the Femur.

Absence of Olfactory Bulbsin A Patient With Congenital Anosmia

We present a patient with congenital anosmia.The coronal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed absence of the olfactory bulbs on both sides.We propose that conventional MRI may alert the clinician to the possibility of a congenital olfactory dysfunction. INTRODUCTION The common causes of olfactory dysfunction include allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and upper respiratory...

Congenital bilateral medial rectus muscle aplasia.
