[Infantile type renal autosomal recessive polycystic disease in two successive newborns from the same mother].

OBJECTIVE: Renal autosomal recessive policystic disease is responsible for a great number of deaths among affected individuals (mainly prenatal and neonatal forms).

METHODS: We report the necropsy studies of two successive newborns from the same mother with such disease.

RESULTS: We analyze the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of this cystic disease.

CONCLUSIONS: Those children that make it through the breast-feeding period will surely suffer from the associated liver pathology.
