Re: Prune Belly Syndrome
Prune Belly Syndrome also known as Eagle Barrett Syndrome. 95 to 97% of cases are boys; 1 in 30,000 children are born with this syndrome. A sex linked autosomal recessive form of inheritance has been strongly suggested. That means it is inherited !! The abdominal muscles in the front are weak or missing Parts of the urinary tract develop abnormally In males (95% of all cases are MALE), the testes stay up inside the abdomen and don't come down into the scrotum. There may be other physical problems in the infant, such as spinal curvature, hip dislocations, clubfoot or abnormal limbs, underdeveloped lungs, heart problems, and gastrointestinal problems. While the fetus grows, fluid develops in its abdomen, which stretches larger and larger. The fluid is reabsorbed before birth, so when born the infant has a sagging or wrinkled abdomen (thus the "prune belly" name) 20% die before birth, 30 % die within 2 years, and the remaining 50% have lifelong urinary problems.
