The authors discuss a 1-day-old boy who had Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. This is the fifth case reported in the literature, and it presents additional abnormalities that have not been reported previously.
The Schinzel-Giedion syndrome includes facially dysmorphic, skeletal, cardiac, and genitourinary anomalies, but mainly congenital hydronephrosis. The diagnosis can be made by clinical and radiological examinations.
