J Neonatal Surg. 2012 Apr 1;1(2):26. eCollection 2012 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome is a quite rare congenital anomaly that presents with a functional obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract which is usually fatal. It is three to four times more prevalent in females. We present a case of a rare association of a male neonate with Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome who in addition had the classical triad of Prune Belly Syndrome and thus suggest a possibility of different spectrums with a common pathogenesis.

Keywords: Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome; Prune Belly Syndrome.
