title: Congenital microcephaly and infantile nephrotic syndrome--a case report.
abstract: A 22-month-old girl with nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly is described. She had dysmorphic facies and psychomotor retardation. Her parents were first-degree relatives and one of her siblings had died with nephrotic syndrome and renal failure in infancy. An autosomal recessive inheritance is suggested. The diagnosis of this rare combination is discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed.
