Rhombencephalosynapsis (RES) is a rare congenital malformation of the cerebellum characterized by hypogenesis or agenesis of the vermis and fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres with or without fusion of the dentate nuclei and superior cerebellar peduncles. No genetic or chromosomal abnormalities have been identified for RES. Although the occurrence of RES is presumed to be sporadic, no clear pattern of inheritance has been identified. The authors report on a 17-year-old girl with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease Type 1 as well as RES.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease and is responsible for 8–10% of patients with end-stage renal failure. The major extrarenal complications of ADPKD are cardiovascular abnormalities. Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a lethal congenital cardiac abnormality seen with a frequency of 3/1000000 births and is defined as a segment of the arcus aorta being atresic. In the literature, there are no any reports showing that polycystic kidney disease and interrupted aortic arch occur together. In this study, we present a rare case in which the patient has polycystic kidney disease and IAA together and discuss whether IAA is a complication of ADPKD.

Objective: Acromegaly is a classic endocrine disorder caused by a growth hormone (GH)–secreting pituitary adenoma in an overwhelming majority of patients. The diagnosis may be delayed by several years due to the slow growing and insidious nature of the disease. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by multiple renal cysts and various other systemic manifestations. The purpose of this article is to report a rare case of acromegaly with coexistent ADPKD. Methods: We report a case of 42-year-old female with acromegaly and ADPKD along with a brief review of literature. Results: The patient was referred to us for evaluation of progressive acral enlargement and coarsening of facial features. Endocrine evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of acromegaly due to an underlying GH–secreting pituitary macroadenoma. She was also found to have ADPKD. We discuss the clinical features and management of the patient. Conclusion: The association of pituitary adenomas and ADPKD is very rare and interesting. All affected individuals with pituitary adenomas and ADPKD in the literature are women. Furthermore, all reported pituitary adenomas in these individuals (including ours) are functional GH–secreting ones. These findings argue against a mere chance association between the two diseases.
