Objective: Study the incidence of genitourinary malformations combined with microtia, find the regularity of the disease, and analyze the correlation between them.
Methods: There is a total of 3143 microtia patients from January 2015 to December 2019 in Plastic Surgery Hospital. We examined their renal ultrasound, counted cases with genitourinary system deformities, and calculated the incidence of the disease.
Results: Among 3143 patients with congenital microtia, there were 163 patients with congenital genitourinary system malformations, accounting for 5.2%. The side of congenital microtia is associated with the side of congenital genitourinary malformations.
Conclusions: Genitourinary malformations occur more frequently in patients with microtia than in the general population. The 2 malformations are more likely to be ipsilateral. We believe it is necessary to complete the systemic physical and renal ultrasound examination for patients with microtia.

Case report: Kabuki syndrome and persistent hypoglycemia in neonates.
J Family Med Prim Care

Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare congenital disease that has two different types, KS1 and KS2, with variant in epigenetic gene KMT2D and KDM6A, respectively. It is associated with multiple abnormalities such as (developmental delay, atypical facial features, cardiac anomalies, minor skeleton anomalies, genitourinary anomalies, and mild to moderate intellectual disability). This syndrome can lead to neonatal hypoglycemia that results from hyperinsulinemia and electrolyte abnormalities.

Paediatric renal tumours include a broad range of neoplasms which largely differ, but also overlap to a smaller extent, with adult kidney cancer. These include the embryonal tumour nephroblastoma, which accounts for the majority of cases of kidney cancer in the first decade of life and, despite boasting a cure in ~ 90% cases, still presents clinical challenges in a small proportion of cases. A variety of less common mesenchymal tumours, including the mostly indolent congenital mesoblastic nephroma, clear cell sarcoma of kidney which continues to be associated with poor outcomes for higher stage disease, and the typically lethal malignant rhabdoid tumour, form the bulk of the remaining presentations in the first decade.

Department of Pediatric Kidney Transplantation, Hospital Samaritano de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are a common cause of kidney failure in childhood. Renal transplantation is the modality of treatment used for kidney failure that promotes improved quality of life for pediatric patients. It is believed that patients with CAKUT are more predisposed to developing graft reflux in the post-transplant period, but its influence on graft survival is poorly understood.

Background And Objectives: On a local and national scale, genitourinary malformations (GUMs) are the second most encountered congenital anomaly in children. GUMs are linked to several risk factors, including maternal co-morbidities and insufficient folic acid. They may also be related to maternal health and care during pregnancy.
