AB It  is  an  inherited  disorder  characterized  by  rapidly  progressive  renal  insufficiency  (nephronophthisis)  and  retinitis  pigmentosa.  Clinically,  it  is  characterized  by  renal  cysts  during  infancy  or  early  childhood.  Affected  individual  will  potentially  experience  renal  failure  and  vision  loss.  Nephronophthisis  is  associated  with  anemia,  polyuria,  polydipsia,  and  uremia.  Other  features  include  mental  retardation  and  arterial  hypertension.  The  degree  of  retinitis  pigmentosa  will  be  an  important  consideration  in  the  management  of  the  patient  at  the  time  of  anesthesia.  Patients  affected  might  be  blind  and  will  require  special  attention  and  reassurance.
