TY - JOUR T1 - INfantile kidney AU - FLEISCHMAN AG, ANDERSON B Y1 - 1929/07/06 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1929.02710010018002 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 12 EP - 15 VL - 93 IS - 1 N2 - Numerous articles have appeared in medical journals dealing with kidney anomalies which are no longer considered rarities. When one investigates carefully the literature concerning infantile kidney, one is impressed with the scarcity of contributions.Geraghty and Plaggemeyer1 have discussed this unusual anomaly and have emphasized its infrequency. Doria2 has reported a case discovered at necropsy. Robinson3 covers the subject of atrophic or rudimentary kidney; he does not limit his discussion solely to the small kidney but considers all forms of atrophic kidney resulting from various diseases. Kaufman4 described in detail a small kidney of infantile character, discovered at the time of an operation. Krotoszyner5 gave his observation of anomalies of the urinary tract and reported a case of renal hypoplasia. Lewis and Bethune6 reported a case of infantile kidney, complicated by an occlusion of the ureter with nephrolithiasis on the opposite side.Infantile kidney, SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1929.02710010018002 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1929.02710010018002 ER -
