- W3008554303 abstract "Background: Prune-belly syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a spectrum of three anomalies: bilateral undescended testes, dilated urinary tract, and anterior abdominal muscle deficiency. Objectives: In developing countries, inadequate access to health care may affect treatment and outcomes of prune-belly syndrome. This study’s goal was to review the anatomical features, etiology, genetics, management, and outcomes of cases in Africa. Methods: PubMed was searched to identify case reports and case studies describing prune-belly syndrome in Africa. Data collected from each study included the number of cases, age at diagnosis, sex, description of the abdominal muscles, testes, and urinary tract, as well as associated anomalies, management, and long-term outcomes. Results: A total of 16 publications that reported 58 cases in African countries were included. The prevalence of female patients (15.5%) was higher than in developed countries (3%). The abdominal muscles were deficient in all cases, and bilateral cryptorchidism was present in nearly all males (96%). Distension of the bladder was common, with normal anatomy reported in only one case. Bilateral hydroureters and hydronephrosis also were present in the majority of cases. Only six cases (10.3%) had no associated anomalies, such as musculoskeletal or cardiovascular. Karyotyping was performed in only three cases (5.2%) because of limited hospital facilities. Six parents (10.3%) declined treatment for their children, 12 cases (20.7%) were managed conservatively, and 25 (43.1%) received surgical intervention. Patients’ mortality rate was higher than in developed countries. Conclusion: Diagnosis and treatment of prune-belly syndrome remains a challenge in Africa, in which multiple factors, such as access to health care and cultural beliefs, affect mortality rates and outcomes. Patient education and support groups may improve compliance with treatment. Level of evidence: Not applicable for this multicenter audit." @default.
