Abstract
We describe a case, seemingly sporadic, in which ocular and acral malf ormations were associated with an interstitial nephropathy; we made a diagnosis of acro-renal-ocular syndrome. There was no stasis, reflux, or urinary tract infection in our patient. We believe that interstitia l nephritis in acro-renal-ocular syndrome may not always be pyelonephr itis, as previously reported.
