Lowe syndrome: general problems in a female patient.
The authors describe a clinical case of a patient affected with Lowe syndrome. Ocular modifications, as well as those involving the nervous system, renal function, and the locomotor apparatus, typical of the syndrome, are taken into consideration. The problem of axial deformity of the knee, secondary to spontaneous fracture of the femur, a frequent occurrence in these patients, is dealt with.
