The clinical course of a child with neonatal haemochromatosis associated with Down syndrome is described, using case notes and post-mortem examination. The patient died of liver failure on day 36. Post-mortem examination showed siderosis of liver, pancreas, heart, kidney and thyroid. Neonatal haemochromatosis is a rare paediatric disease, the aetiology of which is unknown. Evidence suggests a disorder of fetoplacental iron handling with implications for recurrence in future pregnancies.
