Ultrasonographic findings in congenital nephrotic syndrome.
This report documents a case of biopsy-proven congenital nephrotic syndrome, Finnish type (CNF), which was initially misdiagnosed as infantile polycystic kidney disease based on ultrasonographic findings. We report this to further describe ultrasonographic features of CNF, and to point out that these two diseases may have similar features on ultrasound.
