Abstract
A 9-month-old child with the skeletal abnormalities of Fuhrmann's synd rome presented with acute renal failure secondary to bilateral renal c alculi, Hereditary xanthinuria was shown to be the underlying metaboli c defect. Treatment with allopurinol was unsuccessful at reducing the xanthine excretion.
