Abstract. Russo, G., Mollica, F., Mazzone, D. and Santonacito, B. (Paediatric Clinic, University of Catania, Catania, Italy). Congenital lactose intolerance of gastrogen origin associated with cataracts. Acta Paediatr Scand, 63: 457, 1974.–A case of congenital lactose intolerance with lactosuria associated with bilateral cataracts in a male infant is described. Lactosuria and cataracts were also present in four members of the two preceding generations. According to per oral lactose tolerance tests evidence of transient intestinal lactose deficiency was found in the proband, and it was shown that lactosuria was related to the gastric passage of the lactose, since it disappeared when lactose was given intraduodenally.
