[Infantile type renal autosomal recessive polycystic disease in two successive newborns from the same mother].
OBJECTIVE
Renal autosomal recessive policystic disease is responsible for a great number of deaths among affected individuals (mainly prenatal and neonatal forms).


METHODS
We report the necropsy studies of two successive newborns from the same mother with such disease.


RESULTS
We analyze the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of this cystic disease.


CONCLUSIONS
Those children that make it through the breast-feeding period will surely suffer from the associated liver pathology.
