| Abstract |
|
In 1946 Potter described a series of 20 cases in infants in whom bilateral absence of the
kidneys was associated with, hypoplasia of the lung and characteristic face. The main facial
features she described were increased space between the eyes, a prominent fold which arises
at inner canthus and sweeps downward and laterally below the eyes, unusual flattening of the
nose, excessive recession of the chin, moderate enlargement and decreased chondrification of
the ear, and suggestion of premature senility.
We reported a female neonate diagnosed by autopsy as Potter syndrome which was
characterized by bilateral renal agenesis, bilateral pneumothorax and characteristic face.
