title: The prune-belly syndrome: current insights.
abstract: The prune-belly syndrome comprises a constellation of well-established physical findings, yet the cause and management remain controversial. This review focuses on the current understanding of its pathogenesis and characterizes the fetal and neonatal diagnosis and management. Other associated anomalies are discussed to understand better the factors affecting treatment and prognosis as these patients grow into childhood and beyond.
