Abstract
Prune-belly syndrome (PBS) consists of a triad of deficient or absent abdominal wall musculature, abnormalities of the urinary system and bilateral intra-abdominal testes. Several associated conditions have been reported, including pulmonary (58%), cardiovascular (25%), gastrointestinal (24%) and musculoskeletal (25%). This case report describes a 5-year-old male PBS patient with hydrocephaly submitted to ventriculoperitoneal shunt. He was also diagnosed with autism at age two. Although PBS patients have classic clinical features, detailed investigation and careful follow up are mandatory in order to evaluate the whole context of this syndrome in view of the variety of organ involvement.
