Abstract
We report a 7-year-old child with Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome, an autosomal recessive syndrome, with impaired renal function detected by means of technetium-99m diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA), technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99m DMSA) scintigraphy, and ultrasonography. The altered renal morphology and decreased renal functions are documented.
