pheochromocytoma and renal agenesis

Complete dorsal pancreatic agenesis and unilateral renal agenesis

Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is a very rare congenital anomaly. Unilateral renal agenesis, on the other hand, is a relatively common congenital anomaly, although its etiology is not fully understood. Renal and pancreatic embryologic development appears to be nonrelated. We report a case of a 34-year-old man who was referred to our hospital for evaluation of cholestasis and microalbuminuria. Ultra...

Renal agenesis, oligohydramnios and diabetes mellitus.

Klippel-Feil syndrome with unilateral renal agenesis and renal failure.

Sir, T triad of short neck, low posterior hairline and severe restriction of cervical motion is a classic definition of KlippelFeil syndrome. Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is characterized by congenital fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae and is believed to result from faulty segmentation along the embryo’s developing axis during the second to eighth week of gestation. This is commonly assoc...

Penile Agenesis with Crossed Fused Renal Ectopia.

Penile agenesis is one of the rarest urogenital anomalies with only less than 100 cases reported worldwide so far. Only 3 cases have been reported from Africa and to our knowledge none has been reported from our country Ethiopia. Viability depends on associated anomalies. Urogenital anomalies are the most common associated ones accounting for 54% of cases. This case report is unusual presentati...

Meckel-Gruber Syndrome with unilateral renal agenesis.

Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MKS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by a combination of central nervous system malformation (occipital encephalocele), post-axial polydactyly, and enlarged polycystic kidney dysplasia. With a recurrence risk of 25% this lethal syndrome can be detected in early screening by ultrasound. However, to the authors' knowledge, association of MKS with unilater...

A family study of renal agenesis.

SUMMARY A family study of bilateral renal agenesis was undertaken based on 103 patients with bilateral renal agenesis, ascertained through stillbirth and neonatal death certificates, and confirmed by necropsy reports; 28 were ascertained through paediatric pathologists. The families of 108 of these were traced and visited. The birth frequency in the year in which ascertainment was likely to be ...
