Neonatal stroke and haematuria: Questions.

This is a report of an infant born near term with neonatal stroke and haematuria. Changes were noted on foetal magnetic resonance images, and these persisted postnatally. A routine renal ultrasound scan during follow-up detected haematuria with no associated proteinuria. A likely pathogenic genetic mutation was identified. This case highlights a relatively newly discovered cause for hereditary nephropathy affecting the basement membrane, initially affecting the glomerular but later the renal tubular basement membranes. The renal phenotype, pathogenic genotype and pathological findings on renal biopsy are discussed.
