Abstract

Prune Belly Syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital malformation that primarily affects boys. It is characterized by hypoplasia of the abdominal wall muscles, urological anomalies, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Although the etiology remains unclear, genetic factors and chromosomal abnormalities are suspected. Early diagnosis is essential, as the prognosis ranges from unfavorable to near-normal survival. We report the case of a premature neonate diagnosed with PBS at birth, who required surgical intervention but unfortunately passed away at 8 months due to urinary tract infections and severe dehydration. A multidisciplinaryapproachis crucial to improve patient outcomes.
