Prune belly syndrome is a congenital abnormality of unknown etiology with characteristic features: Deficient development of abdominal muscles that causes the skin of the abdomen to wrinkle like a prune, cryptorchidism, abnormalities of the urinary tract. It is associated with high incidence of fetal and neonatal mortality. It can be diagnosed at 16 weeks during routine ultrasound and can be managed by fetal therapy. In rural setup women are neither visiting for routine anomaly scan nor affording for fetal therapy, hence termination of pregnancy remains the only option.
