Bartter syndrome encompasses a variety of inheritable renal tubular transport disorders characterized by hypokalemia and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Bartter syndrome Type III is caused by genetic alterations in the chloride channel kidney B (CLCNKB) gene and often presents in the first 2 years of life, known as classic Bartter syndrome. However, in rare cases Bartter syndrome Type III has an antenatal presentation with polyhydramnios, premature delivery and severe dehydration in the first weeks of life. Associations between congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract and Bartter syndrome are extremely rare. This case report presents a girl with Bartter syndrome Type III due to a homozygous CLCNKB mutation and bilateral congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. In addition, we describe the antenatal presentation as well as its perinatal management.

Introduction: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant tumor originating from the olfactory neuroepithelium, typically within the sinonasal cavity. Cases of ONB originating outside of the olfactory cleft area are extremely rare and are referred to as "ectopic" (eONB), in contrast to "orthotopic" tumors (oONB). ONB has been associated with paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs), including the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

Introduction And Importance: Bartter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting renal tubular function leading to disturbances in electrolyte and volume homeostasis. It can also manifest as Bartter-like syndrome (BLS), a rare side effect of certain medications. Polymyxin-B, an antibiotic used to treat multidrug-resistant infections is infrequently associated with BLS.

Article Synopsis
  • - The incidence of genetic diseases linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been on the rise, prompting a review of monogenic causes related to kidney stone disorders.
  • - Identified monogenic conditions include primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, and Dent disease, all of which can lead to CKD and possibly progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
  • - It's important to conduct genetic testing in children with kidney stones, as a significant number of these patients may develop CKD due to underlying genetic disorders.
