Abstract

Prune belly syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs mainly in men. It is characterized by the triad of deficient abdominal wall muscles, the dilated urinary collecting system, bilateral cryptorchidism, and infertility. It mainly affects the genitourinary system, which involves the prognosis. We present the case of a preterm neonate male whose diagnosis of a prune belly was suspected in antenatal ultrasound. He had a urinary tract abnormality starting at 22 weeks of gestation. At birth, a clinical examination revealed a distended abdomen within a wrinkled and flaccid abdominal wall, a macropenis, and bilateral cryptorchidism. A urinary tract ultrasound revealed a right pyelocaliciel dilatation and a right megaureter with a megacystis. The neonate ultimately died due to severe renal failures. Prune Belly syndrome is a complex disease with a high mortality rate. Early antenatal ultrasound may ameliorate the prognosis.
