A patient with neonatal expression of severe De Toni-Debré-Fanconi syndrome is presented. Because of early signs of renal tubulopathy together with a large urinary excretion of lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate and citric acid cycle intermediates, a mitochondrial disorder was suspected and muscle and liver biopsies were performed. Biochemical investigations in both tissues revealed a defect in the respiratory chain at the level of complex III. In this patient renal dysfunction was the primary symptom, and hyperlactataemia, an important clue for a mitochondrial disorder, was lacking. CONCLUSION. Complex III deficiency should be included in the differential diagnosis of neonatal De Toni-Debré-Fanconi syndrome.
