Case ReportsA variant of Bartter's syndrome. Bartter's syndrome associated with hydramnios, prematurity, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis.
A case of early onset Bartter's syndrome associated with hydramnios, prematurity, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is reported. A literature review of Bartter's syndrome supports the hypothesis that the findings in this infant constitute a specific variant of Bartter's syndrome inherited in an autosomal recessive mode. ⋯ This variant of Bartter's syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of hydramnios, especially if the woman has had previous hydramnios resulting in a perinatal death. The disorder responds to treatment with indomethacin.
