Özet

The multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is the most common form of cystic kidney disease in children with unknown pathogenesis. Previously concomitant abnormalities such as heart, gastro-intestinal system, spine and the brain were reported with MCDK. We report a 15-day-old girl case with multicystic dysplastic kidney, distinct dysmorphic features and are view of the literature. We suggest that genetic counseling should take into consideration parental renal ultrasound and chromosome results as well as family history.
