Nephrological and urological symptoms in patients with Robinow syndrome - a report of two cases.

Unlabelled: Robinow syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome described in 1969 by Meinhard Robinow. The genetic background is heterogeneous - mutations of DVLI1, DVLI3, WNT5A genes (mild, autosomal dominant inheritance) or ROR2 gene (severe, autosomal recessive inheritance) are responsible for the syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by facial dysmorphism, skeletal defects, short stature, cardiovascular and urinary system abnormalities.

Testicular necrosis secondary to incarcerated inguinal hernia in male infants. Own observations.

One of the possible consequences of incarcerated inguinal hernia in boys is testicular ischemia because of the prolonged compression of spermatic cord structures by the sac contents, resulting in ipsilateral testicular atrophy. This complication is well described in the literature and occurs in 5-34% of patients. The incidence of testicular atrophy secondary to incarcerated hernia is estimated to be 2-3%.
