Abstract
The authors describe their experience of "prune belly syndrome" about 7 personal cases. The major signs are abdominal muscle aplasia or hypoplasia, cryptorchidix, and severe urinary tract malformations. The first evenment of the malformation sequence is a prostatic hypoplasia with functional obstruction of the urethra. Abdominal muscle aplasia is a secondary point of variable aetiology.
