Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by three
main features: abdominal wall flaccidity, bilateral intra-abdominal cryptorchidism, and
urologic abnormalities.
In this study we describe the case of a 2,600 gr baby, born at the Central Hospital of
Beira, Mozambique.
Our study confirms that in a low-income country only conservative management can
be delivered, and therefore prognosis is worse and less effective than high-income
countries. |
