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.

The testis develops in the abdominal cavity and descends into the scrotum. Although numerous theories have been proposed, the mechanism of descent and the reason for its inhibition remain unknown. Furthermore, none of the explanations account for the other occurrences related to the descent, such as failed obliteration of the processus vaginalis, or the reasons for the decrease in fertility and increase in the risk of malignancy associated with an undescended testis.

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital malformation of unknown etiology characterized by a triad of deficient abdominal wall musculature, undescended testicles and urinary tract malformations. Most of the patients have pulmonary, cardiac, skeletal and gastrointestinal tract anomalies. Lack of abdominal muscles leads to constipation due to inability to perform Valsalva maneuver, which helps push the stool out of the rectum during the defecation.
