Abstract
Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a triad of abdominal flaccidity, varying degrees of urinary system involvement, and cryptorchidism. The exact cause of PBS is unknown. Clinical symptoms can range from stillbirth to significant renal and respiratory abnormalities to almost normal children. Treatment typically involves surgical repair of the abdominal wall defect and urinary tract abnormalities, early orchiopexy, and supportive management of related problems. We report the first case of a female newborn with PBS following in vitro fertilization-induced pregnancy with a comprehensive systematic review of all relevant cases.
