This male infant was found to have prune belly syndrome (PBS) at birth, a rare disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of abdominal muscles, undescended testes, and a dilated urinary tract. Also called Eagle-Barrett syndrome, it results in a large, lax abdomen with a thin abdominal wall through which intestinal loops may be seen. PBS affects up to 1 in 30,000 live births, with over 95% of cases occurring in male infants. There is a broad spectrum of severity ranging from undescended testes and minimal laxity of the abdominal wall to stillbirth. Image credit: @NICURN0601
