Two sibs (one male and one female) suffering from a combination
of immune complex glomerulonephritis and various ophthalmologic disorders are presented. The two cases belong to a family in which the
parents are not related and seven sibs are affected, three females and
a male with the combination, and three males with severe
ophthalmological changes and proteinuria. Clinically, case 2 had only
ophthalmological manifestations but renal biopsy findings were similar
to those of case 1, which could mean that all the others with eye
abnormalities also had renal disease. Although there are several
reports of combinations of eye and renal disorders, the sibs reported
here do not fit into any of the known syndromes.
Keywords: immune complex glomerulonephritis; ophthalmic abnormalities
