Abstract:
The authors report an unusual mode of onset of diffuse mesangial sclerosis in a newborn. Fatal neonatal renal failure, and not infantile nephrotic syndrome, was the main symptom after birth. In utero, ultrasonography revealed hypertrophy and hyperechogenicity of the kidneys associated with oligoamnios.
