After instillation of 200 milliliters of cystograffin under gravity, bilateral grade 5 ureteral reflux was evident by the presence of contrast in the renal pelvis bilaterally (Figure 1) . Next, abdominal ultrasonography was performed revealing moderate bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, thickened bladder wall, and free intraperitoneal fluid. The patientís initial laboratory results revealed a normal serum creatinine of 0.3 gm/dl. Her postnatal course was complicated by the discovery of free intraabdominal air on day 1 of life. The patient was taken immediately to the operating room where a gastric perforation was discovered secondary to a distal tracheo-esophageal fistula with a proximal pouch. No esophageal atresia was present. The esophagus was ligated and a gastrotomy tube placed.

Abstract: We report a term, small for gestational age neonate having full spectrum of VACTERL association. In addition, the neonate also had triad of signs and symptoms associated with prune belly syndrome. The concurrence of these two syndromes could lie in their common etiology of defect in mesodermal differentiation. Such a combination is extremely rare and is generally incompatible with life.

The condition is also known as Eagle Barrett or triad syndrome. The incidence is 1 in 35,00050,000 live births. Prune belly syndrome occurs almost exclusively in males. The condition occurs sporadically, and the aetiology is unknown. A genetic predisposition has been proposed, and the occurrence of prune belly syndrome in siblings has been reported. Curiously, the condition is commoner in twin pregnancies. All reported twins have been discordant for the syndrome. renal failure Antenatal ultrasound (US) may suggest the diagnosis of prune belly syndrome, when hydroureteronephrosis with a large bladder and flaccid-appearing abdominal wall are detected. However, the prenatal distinction from severe vesicoureteric reflux or posterior urethral valves may be difficult. Postnatally, hydroureteronephrosis and bladder enlargement may be demonstrated by US, CT, MRI, or intravenous urography. Voiding cystourethrography typically shows a large bladder which empties slowly and incompletely. Vesicoureteric reflux is common (

The most recognizable feature of this condition is irregularity of the skin of the abdominal wall with underlying abdominal wall muscle atrophy. The urinary tract manifestations include dilatation of the bladder, hydroureter, hydronephrosis and bladder neck dilatation. The kidneys may be small and dysplastic but stretched around the dilated collecting systems ( Fig.1 The condition may be suspected in utero although the diagnosis is rarely made until post natal life. The bladder may have a prominent superior margin due to a urachal remnant. The ureter is often dysplastic and has a prostatic utricle ( Fig.2 ). The primary imaging investigation is ultrasound ( Fig.3 ) which will demonstrate bladder dilatation, hydroureter and hydronephrosis and absent testes. Micturating cystourethrography demonstrates poor bladder emptying and vesicoureteric reflux. Renal function is variable but may proceed to renal failure even in neonatal life secondary to pulmonary hypoplasia
Extractions: The Prune Belly syndrome (abdominal muscles deficiency syndrome, Eagle Barret syndrome) in its complete form is characterized by deficiency of abdominal wall muscles, undescended testis and dilated urinary tract. This syndrome has derived its name from the wrinkled prune like appearance of the abdominal wall [ ]. Sonographic observations in three cases of Prune Belly syndrome, prenatally diagnosed and subsequently confirmed are presented in a pictorial essay. Pathology Prune Belly syndrome (PBS), an uncommon condition, results from failure of the lateral mesoderm to migrate or differentiate into the musculature of the abdominal wall and urinary tract which normally occurs by about the tenth week of fetal life [ ]. Even though associated ureteral anomalies like megaloureter, bulbar or penile urethral diverticulum may occur, classically no evidence of any intrinsic urethral obstruction can be demonstrated [
Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The underlying causes of prune belly syndrome are unknown. 96-97% of cases are boys. Expectant mothers carrying affected infants may develop varying degrees of oligohydramnios (insufficient amniotic fluid ) that make it likely the infant will have lung problems. (See also Potter syndrome The newborn infant has a wrinkled abdomen that looks like a prune. This is because the abdomen swelled with fluid in the womb, then lost that fluid after birth, leading to wrinkles of excess skin. The appearance is accentuated by the lack of adequate abdominal musculature. Many infants are either stillborn or die within the first few weeks of life from severe lung or kidney problems, or a combination of congenital anomalies.

Extractions: Prune Belly Syndrome, also known as Eagle-Barrett Syndrome, effects 1 in 40,000 live births. Because it is so rare and uncommon, the media has been slow to respond to it. 20% of patients are stillborn, 30% die of renal failure or urosepsis within the first two years of life, and the remaining 50% have varying degrees of urinary pathology. Frank Walker (born with Prune Belly Syndrome) has put together a 3-day benefit to raise money for greater awareness of this condition. The first will take place on Feb 20th at Munchaba Lounge (Levittown), the second on Feb 21st at Caps on the River (Seaford), and the final day of the benefit will be Sunday Feb 22nd at the Village Pub South (Amityville).

Extractions: About as complex as it getsthats how pediatric urologist Andrew Freedman, M.D., director of pediatric urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centers Endourology Institute, describes the surgery he performed this summer on then 17- month-old Jalen Brown, born with Prune Belly Syndrome. That surgery required reconstructing the toddlers urinary system in a nearly 10-hour procedure. Prune Belly Syndrome, also known as Eagle-Barrett Syndrome, is a very rare occurrence: just one in 80,000 births. An estimated 99 percent of those affected are boys. The cause is still unknown, though some theories suggest urinary tract obstructions and resulting distention or developmental defects in utero. These trademark characteristics are typically discovered either prenatally via ultrasound or at birth. Associated medical problemsprimarily related to renal functioncan be life-threatening. We werent sure he was going to make it, says Dr. Freedman, citing concerns at birth. For Jalenand most others with the syndromesurvival depends on medical intervention.

Extractions: The prune belly syndrome is a congenital abnormality that consists of deficient abdominal wall muscles, urinary tract abnormalities, and undescended testicles. The prune belly syndrome does not exclude the possibility of successful kidney transplantation. The first kidney transplant in a patient with prune belly syndrome was reported in 1977 (Schenasky and Whelchel, Journal of Urology, Jan 1976, p112). You should recommend that your nephew's parents seek a referal to a center with experience with pediatric kidney transplantation. UNOS can provide the names of centers that perform pediatric kidney transplants in your area. Jeff Punch, M.D. (transplant surgeon), University of Michigan

Extractions: Prune Belly syndrome, also known as Eagle-Barrett or triad syndrome, is a distinctive set of physical problems that a child is born with. These problems are: There may be other physical problems in the infant, such as spinal curvature, hip dislocations, clubfoot, respiratory or heart problems, and gastrointestinal problems. What causes it? The cause of the syndrome is unknown, but researchers believe that disruption of the growth of the fetus causes the problems to develop. It is thought that something blocks a part of the fetus' urinary tract, and this causes other parts of the tract to develop abnormally. Prune Belly syndrome occurs in 1 in 40,000 live births in the U.S. How is it diagnosed?
