Bilateral nephroblastoma may be associated with congenital bilateral aniridia in children. A partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 11 has been reported in several cases of polymalformation syndrome with associated catalase deficiency. We report one case and review the recent genetic and pathogenic data.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome; treatment with plasma, vitamin E and cod liver oil.

A 21 month old male child with severe hemolytic uremic syndrome was treated with peritoneal dialysis and a two blood volume exchange transfusion. As renal function had recuperated and platelet count had risen to 393,000/mm3, ,neurological deterioration occurred and complete blindness developed. A complete recovery was observed with a treatment regimen made of fresh frozen plasma, vitamin E and cod liver oil.
