  • Abstract
    A case of Prune Belly Syndrome in an infant,the second in a middle class family with both parents in their late thirties,is presented because of its rarity. Constraints in the management are discussed and relevant literature reviewed. This is intended to awaken interest and sharpen indices of suspicion that would facilitate early diagnosis,enhance management,and mitigate prejudices.
