title: Senior-loken syndrome with rare manifestations: a case report.
abstract: Senior-Loken syndrome refers to a disorder in which there is a combination of nephronophthisis and retinal dystrophy. The earliest presenting signs of the renal component are polyuria and polydipsia secondary to defective urinary concentrating ability. Nephronophthisis progresses to end-stage renal disease during the second decade. The retinal lesions are variable, ranging from severe infantile onset retinal dystrophy to more typical retinitis pigmentosa. There is a spectrum of other associated features, including skeletal, dermatological and cerebellar anomalies, observed in this entity. Here, we report a case of Senior-Loken syndrome associated with small hand (short metacarpals) and madarosis. To date, there are no cases reported in the literature describing the association of madarosis with this syndrome, and the presence of small hands has been reported only once.
