  • Title: In utero intravesicular pressure and the prune belly syndrome.
    Author: Cullen MT, Athanassiadis AP, Grannum P, Green JJ, Hobbins JC.
    Journal: Fetal Ther; 1989; 4(2-3):73-7. PubMed ID: 2486891.
    Abstract:
    The pathogenesis of the prune belly syndrome is unclear. The proposed etiologies include a distal obstructive uropathy or a mesodermal defect of the anterior abdominal wall and urinary tract. Detection of increased intravesicular pressure might identify those fetuses with an obstructive etiology who, therefore, would benefit from shunting.
