Serpentine fibula-polycystic kidney syndrome

Exner syndrome, also known as serpentine fibula polycystic kidney syndrome, is a rare disorder, typified by the afflicted person having oddly formed, s-shaped fibulas as well as the development of numerous cysts in the kidneys. Symptoms All of the following are usual elements of the syndrome: Short stature Abnormal calf bone shape (fibula) Unusual facial appearance Polycystic kidneys Abnormally long fibula Mild sunken chest Large corneas Inguinal hernia Umbilical hernia Diagnosis Exner syndrome is sometimes misdiagnosed as interstitial cystitis in its very early stages, but once the fibula begins to malform, Exner is the only real diagnosis.
