Abstract: We describe the clinical course and have characterised anatomically and genetically a unique case of a newborn with bilateral
hypoplasia of pulmonary arteries, consecutive extremely hypoplastic lung tissue and associated unilateral renal agenesis. Intrauterine
oxygenation by the placenta seemed to have allowed normotrophic body maturity but immediately after delivery, in the third trimester,
progressive hypoxemia developed and the newborn succumbed to acute respiratory failure. Genetic analysis by array-based comparative
genomic hybridisation and quantitative PCR revealed duplication of 1p21, which, however, might not be the disease causing aberration. This
case might represent an extreme form of previously reported, rare cases with simultaneous dysorganogenesis of lungs and kidneys.
