Abstract |
Prune belly syndrome is a very rare congenital anomaly characterized by congenital deficiency of the
abdominal muscle wall and wrinkled irregular skin, prune like in appearance. It has been referred to
as triad syndrome because three major features are seen in most cases: deficiency of the abdominal
muscle wall, hydroureter and hydronephrosis, and cryptochidism. We report a rare case of prune belly
syndrome in a 6-year-old male child and review the literature.
