[Morphologic contribution to a progeria syndrome (Hutchinson-Gilford) (author's transl)].
Report of necropsy findings of a 17 years old girl with a progeria syndrome. There was a high degree of generalized atherosclerosis, involving the visceral arteries, chiefly those to the kidneys. The patient died of nephrosclerosis with uraemia. The aetiology of progeria syndrome remains obscure, single findings (lipoprotein- and amino-acid metabolism) may be understood as an inborn error of metabolism.
