Abstract
Potter syndrome is a lethal congenital anomaly resulting from oligohydramnios due to
renal agenesis and dysfunction. Because neonates with Potter syndrome have pulmonary
hypoplasia, it is incompatible with life and the neonates will expire with respiratory distress
during the first hours of life. Potter syndrome is rarely accompanied by congenital heart
disease. We report a case of severe Potter syndrome with pulmonary valve atresia that expired
a few hours after birth.
