PIGMENTARY RETINOPATHY WITH NEPHROTIC SYNDROME MENETRIERS DISEASE, AND DIABETES-MELLITUS

A patient with pigmentary retinopathy, nephrotic syndrome, Menetrier's disease, and diabetes mellitus is presented. Other complications were congestive heart failure, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hypertrig lyceridemia. Hypogenitalism was also suspected. Pigmentary retinopathy is known to associate with many systemic diseases, which are classifi ed into several syndromes. This case superficially resembles Alstrom's disease due to the common characteristics of pigmentary retinopathy, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, and hypogenitalism. But clinically a nd histologically, there are distinct differences. To our knowledge, t his association has never been reported.
