It is characterised by a triad of distinctive features including weak or missing abdominal muscles, an abnormal expanded bladder and problems in the upper urinary tract which may include the bladder, ureters and kidneys and, in most males, bilateral cryptorchidism (failure of both testes to descend in the scrotum). Prune Belly syndrome affects indviduals to varying degrees. The prognosis may be serious and often life-threatening including in utero death, stillbirth or death within the first few weeks of life. Alternatively, the prognosis may involve a combination of congenital anomalies in infancy. For others, the outcome may be a near-normal life expectancy, with varying degrees of urinary tract pathology. As the name implies, Prune Belly syndrome is characterised by an abdomen with a wrinkly or 'prune-like' appearance with multiple folds of skin. The cause of this is a blockage in a part of the unborn's urinary tract, resulting in other parts of the tract developing abnormally. The obstruction may occur in the urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside of the body for elimination). The effect of this is that the urine 'reverse flows', causing an expanded bladder. Fluid subsequently develops in the abdomen which stretches larger and larger. The fluid is reabsorbed before birth and when the infant is born, it has a sagging or wrinkled abdomen (thus the 'prune belly' name). Infants may have a range of severity from a complete absence of musculature to an abdomen of normal appearance. Infants may have difficulties in sitting upright.

"1 MEDLINE Citation" TEXT Lockhart et al. (1979) described a family in which 2 brothers and a sister had this combination. A fourth sib may have been affected; the mother reported that the male, who died 25 hours after birth, had 'a big bladder, big ureters, bad kidneys.' The hearing loss was sensorineural in nature. Because the involvement in the female was less marked than in the males, the possibility of X-linked inheritance was suggested. No information concerning abnormalities in the mother was provided.
