Children born with prune belly syndrome (PBS) share three main characteristics (a) insufficient abdominal musculature, (b) urinary anomalies, and (c) undescended testes in males. Prune belly syndrome may also be called Eagle- Barrett syndrome and occasionally abdominal muscle deficiency syndrome, congenital absence of the abdominal muscles, Obrinsky syndrome, or mesenchymal dysplasia (National Organization for Rare Disorders, 2000).
A genetic disorder linked to irregularities in human chromosomes 18 and 21, known as PBS (Prune Belly Syndrome). Male infants affected by PBS frequently exhibit cryptorchidism, alongside additional abnormalities in the genital and urinary tract. This syndrome is alternatively referred to as triad syndrome and Eagle-Barrett syndrome.
