Abstract:
Nephronophthisis is a pediatric genetic disease. The kidney effect is characterized by a CTN leading to ESRD. Many syndromes could be associated with NPHP. We reported a child affected by NPHP with dextrocardia, LSVC and LAV where the diagnostic was done by fluoroscopy after encountering unusual difficulties to perform CVC.
Keywords: Nephronophthisis, tunneled hemodialysis catheter, dextrocardia, left superior vena cava, azygos vein, arteriovenous fistula.
