“…The extent of the lesions will influence survival after renal papillary necrosis. In 3 of the 18 cases recorded by Davies et al (1969) the changes were unilateral and it was noted that the site and size of the area of infarction varied. In those with prolonged survival, apart from an occasional congested vessel, the appearance of the surviving parts of the medulla was normal.…”

“…The common factor in most of the reported cases has been an episode of sev.re vascular collapse causing renal ischaemia (Davies et al, 1969). The selective ischaemia of the papillae is due to the arrangement of the arterial blood supply to the medulla.…”

“…Since then the majority of further cases reported have also been in adults. It has been thought to be uncommon and usually to have a fatal outcome in infancy and childhood (Davies, Kennedy, and Roberts, 1969). In the newborn infant renal papillary necrosis has occurred with asphyxia (Bernstein and Meyer, 1961;Mauer and Nogrady, 1969), hyperbilirubinaemia (Watanabe and Sakaguchi, 1969), and haemorrhagic shock (Marks, 1960).…”

In older children it has followed severe and prolonged hypotension with dehydration (Davies et al, 1969) or sepsis (Stirling, 1958;Swartz and Hoogstraten, 1959). Chrispin et al (1970) described the radiological appearances of papillary necrosis in 3 infants who survived.…”

“…Medullary ne crosis, however, is very rare in infants. Only 18 cases of this condition were found among 3516 children necropsies [1], Chrispin [2] pre sented eleven radiologically investigated cases, the ages ranging from birth to 3 months old, only three of which were studied by biopsies. Zollinger [3,4] mentioned four types of papil lary necrosis.…”

\s=b\Renal papillary and cortical necrosis (RPCN) in newborn infants has been generally fatal. This report describes three survivors of neonatal RPCN who have been followed up from 23 to 57 months. The cause of RPCN was hemorrhage and asphyxia neonatorum in two patients and hemorrhage and shock in one. The diagnosis was confirmed in one patient by an excretory urogram at 3 weeks of age and in another by renal biopsy at 5 weeks of age. In the third, diagnosis was made retrospectively. Findings from subsequent examination showed that creatinine clearance was normal in one patient, slightly reduced in another, and moderately reduced in the third. Maximum ability to concentrate urine was decreased in all. Follow-up excretory urograms in all three patients showed dilated bizarre-appearing calices and renal cortical atrophy. These radiologic findings are similar to those found in segmental hypoplasia or chronic (atrophic) pyelonephritis.(Am J Dis Child 131: [773][774][775][776][777] 1977) Renal papillary and cortical necrosis (RPCN) in newborn infants is an uncommon condition and usually occurs as a complication of severe From the
