Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch Syndrome (WRS), also known as neonatal progeroid syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic syndrome characterized by a senile appearance at birth with multiple complex symptoms. We reported a case of a three-days old male neonate with features of WRS presented with fatal hyperkalemic renal failure which is a unique presentation not reported before in the cases affected with this syndrome. There is a positive family history of a previous sibling with the same features who suddenly died during the first week of life. This case report aimed to increase the awareness of WRS about the features and the importance of close follow-up of the affected cases, especially in the neonatal period among neonatal physicians.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
