ABSTRACT
Subcutaneous fat necrosis leading to hypercalcemia is rare but well documented in asphyxiated neonates. This paper presents two such neonates in whom sonography revealed the development of nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. The kidneys had initially been shown to be normal sonographically. In one infant, nephrocalcinosis developed as increasing echogenicity of the medullary pyramids. In the other, increased echogenicity of the renal cortex of uncertain cause developed together with nephrolithiasis. These sonographic appearances have not been described previously in this entity.
