MATERIAL AND METHODS

The baby was diagnosed antenatally with three intra-abdominal cysts and oligohydraminos. He un-

derwent laparotomy on day 1 of life and was found to have urethral atresia, right duplex kidney, very

small bladder with a diverticulum and extra-vesical dilated right lower ureter. He had a vesicostomy

and large catheter placed in his right dilated ureter. His peak creatinine was 260 micromols/L in first

week of life. However, his urine output tailed off; needing haemodialysis from the age of 6 months.

His other problems were hypertension and conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia.

RESULTS

The main concern regarding renal transplantation was inadequate capacity of his bladder. It was

planned that an ileal conduit will be done with an aim to reverse it when he is older. On the day

of surgery on exploring his lower urinary tract the three cystic structure which were all lined by

transitional epithelium were successfully connected together to form a single large reservoir (blad-

der). Bilateral native nephrectomy was performed. The live-donor renal transplant went well and

the ureter was reimplanted in the neo-bladder and a new vesicostomy was fashioned. The child

creatinine has now stabilised at 10-15 micromols/L.

CONCLUSIONS

Children born with complex obstructive uropathy and early onset chronic renal failure should be

treated aggressively as successful outcome can be achieved.

PURPOSE

9q22.3 syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome which includes deletion of PTCH1, gene

responsible for the Gorlin syndrome.

In addition to the clinical findings of the Gorlin syndrome, the 9q22.3 syndrome is associated to

developmental delay, metopic craniosynostosis, obstructive hydrocephalus, pre and postnatal

macrosomia and seizures.

Wilms tumors (WT) have been described in association with 9q22.3 syndrome.

The goal of this study was to report the incidence and the presentation of WT in 9q22.3 syndrome.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A review of the literature (Pubmed, Embased) has been conducted. The key words were: Wilms;

Gorlin; 9q22.3 syndrome.

Two personal cases have been added to the previously described patients.
