  • Title: The early assessment for individualized treatment in the prune belly syndrome.
    Author: Jeffs RD, Comisarow RH, Hanna MK.
    Journal: Birth Defects Orig Artic Ser; 1977; 13(5):97-9. PubMed ID: 22369.
    Abstract:
    Patients with prune belly syndrome present a spectrum of abnormality, both in the abdominal wall and the urinary tract. Ureteral pathology has characteristic features and the ureter may be more severely involved at the bladder end than in its upper portion. Early neonatal investigation is required to determine which patient can be treated in a conservative manner and which require neonatal reconstruction or temporary vesical or upper tract drainage.
