ABSTRACT
Although nephrotic syndrome is common among African children, the congenital forms of it are rare. This report describes the clinical presentation of a 6-week-old Nigerian infant who presented with marked pedal oedema, heavy proteinuria and serum hypoproteinaemia leading to the diagnosis of congenital nephrotic syndrome. This case is being reported to create awareness about this condition and to highlight diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
