[Prune belly syndrome. Necropsy study of 2 cases].
The authors report two cases of Prune Belly syndrome (female and male newborn) with urethral obstruction and other associated malformations: imperforate anus, vaginal septae and bicornuate uterus in the female case; unilateral anorchia and hyaline membrane disease in the male. These findings support the mechanical pathogenic theory. In the cytogenetic studies no chromosomal abnormalities were detected. Both karyotypes were normal.
