Hydrometrocolpos and segmental colonic dilatation in a girl with megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of a newborn female infant noted to have features of the megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) with the additional features of hydrometrocolpos and segmental colonic dilatation and review the literature.


METHODS
The details of the case were collated and compared with the previous published experience with this condition.


RESULTS
Thus far there have been 58 previous cases of MMIHS described, only four of which have had colonic dilatation. A number of concurrent anomalies have been described, but not the hydrometrocolpos or dysmorphic features seen in this patient.


CONCLUSIONS
This case appears to be MMIHS with additional features not previously recorded.
