title: Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome with severe psychomotor retardation: report of one case.
abstract: Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare and severe form of neonatal functional bowel obstruction. Affected neonates present with vomiting, an overdistended abdomen, and a huge bladder after birth, and they usually die early in life despite intensive medical and/or surgical management. We report the case of a girl aged 3 years 7 months who had MMIHS with severe psychomotor retardation; autopsy was performed after her death.
