Prune Belly Syndrome

Prune belly syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by deficient abdominal musculature, bilateral cryptorchidism, and urinary tract abnormalities, often associated with significant multisystem complications. Clinician recognition remains variable, contributing to delayed diagnosis and inconsistent management. This activity reviews current evidence on prenatal detection, postnatal evaluation, and risk stratification across the spectrum of disease severity. Emphasis is placed on individualized management strategies, including surgical planning, monitoring renal and pulmonary function, and preventing long-term complications. Participants develop competence in identifying clinical features, coordinating longitudinal care, and providing family-centered counseling. Integration of interprofessional collaboration among clinicians, surgeons, nursing staff, and allied specialists supports comprehensive care, improves diagnostic accuracy, enhances continuity of management, and optimizes renal, reproductive, pulmonary, and developmental outcomes throughout the patient s lifespan.
