Le syndrome de Prune-Belly (SPB) demeure une malformation congénitale rare et complexe caractérisée par la triade faite d’aplasie ou hypoplasie des muscles de la paroi antérieure de l’abdomen, des atteintes des voies urinaires et des organes génitaux. Cette étude rapporte le cas d’un nouveau-né prématuré macrosome de 36 semaines d’aménorrhées chez qui l’examen clinique à la naissance avait révélé l’hypoplasie bilatérale des muscles de la paroi antérieure de l’abdomen, la cryptorchidie bilatérale et le pied bot varus au membre inferieur gauche. Aucune intervention chirurgicale n’a été effectuée car le nouveau-né était décédé quelques minutes après accouchement dystocique par voie basse. Cette étude souligne l’importance de consultation prénatale et des échographies réalisées par des experts pendant la période gestationnelle, met en évidence l’incidence élevée des malformations congénitales rares dans notre milieu depuis le début de l’année en cours (2022) et en appelle aux autorités sanitaires à s’investir dans les recherches pour trouver des explications à ce phénomène. Mots-clés : Syndrome de Prune-Belly, Cryptorchidie, Abdomen, Lubao, RDC ABSTRACT Prune-Belly syndrome (PBS) remains a rare and complex congenital malformation characterised by the triad of aplasia or hypoplasia of the anterior abdominal wall muscles, urinary tract and genitalia involvement. This study reports the case of a macrosomic preterm infant of 36 weeks of amenorrhoea in whom clinical examination at birth revealed hypoplasia of the muscles of the anterior wall of the abdomen, cryptorchidism and clubfoot varus on left leg. No surgical intervention was performed because the newborn died within minutes of dystocic vaginal delivery. This study underlines the importance of prenatal consultation and ultrasound scans (by specialist) during the gestational period, highlights the high incidence of rare congenital malformations in our environment since the beginning of the current year (2022) and calls on health authorities to invest in research to find explanations for this phenomenon.

“…L'échographie, une des méthodes de diagnostic, réalisée à la 32 SA, par le médecin généraliste n'a pas permis de se focaliser sur les aspects de suspicion de SPB. Et pourtant, il est souhaité d'avoir le diagnostic en période prénatale 12,23,29 . Certaines études suggèrent le diagnostic à 12 SA 30 .…”

Background: Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a congenital anomaly that consists of a triad of abdominal wall defect, bilateral cryptorchidism, and urinary tract dilation. The disease is of varying severity. This study aims to highlight the challenges and peculiarities in the management of PBS in a resource-poor setting. Materials and Methods: This is a ten-year retrospective study conducted at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. Ethical approval for the study was sought and gotten from the hospital's ethical committee. The information gotten included history, duration of symptoms, examination findings, age of the patient, category of disease, and intraoperative findings. The data from the folders were collected and evaluated. Frequencies, percentages, the mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the data as appropriate. Results: Fifteen patients were included in the study. The hospital incidence of PBS was 112/100,000, twelve males and three females. The age range was from 1 day to 15 years, mean age was 14 months ± 2.3 months. Most patients presented between 3 months and 2 years and 11 months. Twelve patients had category three PBS and five patients had associated anomalies. Eleven male patients died after 5 years of follow-up from progressive renal deterioration. The female patient fared better than the males. Conclusion: PBS is rare, most patients with the condition present late. The most common cause of mortality was progressive renal deterioration.
