[Urofacial Ochoa's syndrome: a clinical case].
An 11 year-old girl had an urinary diversion because of a complex uropathy with vesical sphincter dyssinergism. Her inexpressive face with lost eyes and forced gestures, especially when smiling--her smile looking rather like weeping--was the clue to the diagnosis of Ochoa's syndrome. She underwent psoic bladder fixation, right ureteral reimplantation, bladder neck loosening and cystostomy undiversion. At follow-up, renal function deteriorated. She has recently received a kidney transplantation in another institution, and is now symptom-free.
