Abstract
A 6-month-old female infant presented with intussusception. Post-operatively she was noted to have nephrotic syndrome. The oedematous bowel wall may have been the cause of the intussusception and this has not been previously described. In addition her karyotype was XY suggesting her nephropathy was associated with Drash syndrome.
