[Interstitial nephropathy, tapeto-retinal degeneration and cataract. Apropos of a new case].
A case of chronic interstitial renal disease is reported. Onset was manifested at the age of three by polyuria and polydipsia. The child was hospitalized at the age of eleven for renal failure and tapetoretinal degenerescence with cataract were found. The simultaneous occurrence of interstitial renal disease and tapetoretinal degenerescence is well-known. However, this case where cataract was also present illustrates the fact that tapetoretinal degenerescence is not the only ocular abnormality found in this interstitial nephropathies.
