Prune Belly syndrome

ABSTRACT

We present two patients suffering from a rare congenital anomaly of Prune Belly Syndrome [P.B.S]. The first was seen at the age of 1 1/2 year, when he was operated and excision of redundant ureters and reduction cystoplasty was done. He was followed upto the age of 6 years. Second presented at the age of 7 years and was operated for ureters and bladder, and the testes were brought down in the scrotum. He was followed up for 24 months. The first case got a little improvement in the urinary symptoms but no much change in tortusity of the ureters on I.V.P. The second case had no clinical improvement after the operation. So the authors are of the view that a better prognosis can be expected in these children if more conservative approach to their management is followed
