We report a 2-year-old girl with nephrotic syndrome, microcephaly, seizures and psychomotor retardation. Histological studies of a renal biopsy revealed focal glomerular sclerosis with mesangiolysis and capillary microaneurysms. Dysmorphic features were remarkable: abnormal-shaped skull, coarse hair, narrow forehead, large low-set ears, almond-shaped eyes, low nasal bridge, pinched nose, thin lips and micrognathia. Cases with this rare combination of microcephaly and early onset of nephrotic syndrome with various neurological abnormalities have been reported. However, clinical manifestations and histological findings showed a wide variation, and there is a lot of confusion in this syndrome. We therefore reviewed the previous reports and propose a new classification of this syndrome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D008831 Microcephaly A congenital abnormality in which the CEREBRUM is underdeveloped, the fontanels close prematurely, and, as a result, the head is small. (Desk Reference for Neuroscience, 2nd ed.)

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

D005923 Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental A clinicopathological syndrome or diagnostic term for a type of glomerular injury that has multiple causes, primary or secondary. Clinical features include PROTEINURIA, reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE, and EDEMA. Kidney biopsy initially indicates focal segmental glomerular consolidation (hyalinosis) or scarring which can progress to globally sclerotic glomeruli leading to eventual KIDNEY FAILURE.
