Article Synopsis
- Hypospadias and undescended testicles (UDT) are common conditions in boys, with a study analyzing 177 cases from 2000 to 2021 to determine the prevalence of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) among these patients.
- Of the patients studied, 15.3% were diagnosed with DSD, with mixed gonadal dysgenesis being the most common type (35.3%).
- The findings indicate that those with DSD had higher rates of proximal hypospadias and lower rates of palpable gonads compared to those without DSD, suggesting a correlation between UDT and DSD.

Int J Surg Case Rep
October 2024
School of Postgraduate Studies and Research, Amoud University, Amoud Valley, Borama 25263, Somalia.
Article Synopsis
- Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital disorder marked by underdeveloped abdominal muscles, urinary system issues, and undescended testes, with an occurrence rate of approximately 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 50,000 live births; this is the first reported case in Somalia.
- A newborn presented with respiratory distress, jaundice, and abdominal issues, leading to diagnoses like bilateral hydroureteronephrosis and abdominal wall muscle underdevelopment, complicated by the limited healthcare resources in the region.
- Effective management of PBS in resource-limited settings involves addressing infections, ensuring fluid balance, and dealing with urinary abnormalities, but the lack of specialized pediatric urology services complicates care.
