title: [Congenital megacystis in a female fetus. Case report].
abstract: The Authors report a case of congenital megacystis without other anomalies, diagnosed in a 27GW female fetus. At prenatal counselling the diagnostic hypothesis formulated were obstructive uropathy (cloacal malformation, uro-genital sinus, urethral atresia), functional alteration (neurogenic bladder, primitive myopathies) or Prune Belly Syndrome (rare in females). The outcome following treatment suppose a visceral myopathy, for this condition, however definitive etiology is obscure.
