A Singleton Infant with Bilateral Renal Agenesis and Normal Pulmonary Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bilateral renal agenesis leads to anhydramnios and other sequelae including pulmonary hypoplasia. There have been rare case reports of normal pulmonary function in the presence of bilateral renal agenesis in monoamniotic discordant twins, but this has never been reported in a singleton pregnancy. The few reported cases in twins have all been fatal in the neonatal period with no reported cases of survival beyond 2 months. We describe the first case of a singleton infant with bilateral renal agenesis who had normal pulmonary function and did well on peritoneal dialysis for 4 years while awaiting a renal transplant.

Bilateral femoral agenesis is a rare anomaly. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of simple congenital anomaly and three cases associated with femoral facial syndrome have been reported. Here, we describe a simple form of bilateral femoral agenesis observed in one of the 2 dead fetuses delivered after termination of a 24-week twin pregnancy of a normal mother. Post-mortem x-ray ex...
متن کاملA Case with the Combination of Bilateral Microphthalmia, Unilateral Pulmonary Agenesis, Diaphragmatic Eventration and Atrial Septal Defect: PDAC Syndrome
The combination of pulmonary agenesis and anophtalmia or microphthalmia has been described previously. This condition is known as Matthew-Wood syndrome and PDAC syndrome (pulmonary hypoplasia/ agenesis, diaphragmatic hernia/eventration, anophthalmia/microphthalmia, and cardiac defect). We report a sporadic case of female infant with the combination of bilateral microphthalmia, unilateral right ...
متن کاملPulmonary Agenesis/Hypoplasia associated with Renal Dysplasia and Persistent Cloaca. Is It on a Spectrum of the so-called Potter's Syndrome?
Agenesis of the lung is not an uncommon anomaly, and when it is an isolated finding, it is compatible with even normal life (Hochberg & Naclerio 1955; Netterville 1957; Van Loon & Diamond 1962; Shenoy 1979). Hundreds of cases were reported in the world literature (Oyama et al. 1953; Valle 1955; Booth & Berry 1967; Maltz & Nadas 1968; Borja et al. 1970). Various associated malformations are comm...
