Abstract
Prune belly is a lax, wrinkled abdominal wall and frequently is associated with other anomalies. The prune belly syndrome is a specific constellation of anomalies consisting of an abdominal wall deficient in muscular tissue, dilated urinary tract, and bilateral cryptorchidism. This group of anomalies is also called the Eagle-Barrett syndrome and the triad syndrome. In about 3 of 4 patients with the prune belly syndrome, there are associated malformations of the cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and orthopedic systems.Entities:
