Abstract
Prune-belly syndrome is a rare congenital disease involving a deficiency of abdominal muscles, genitourinary abnormalities, and cryptorchidism. About 1/2 of the patients with the disease have associated musculoskeletal abnormalities, including club foot and dislocation of the hip. The cases of 12 children with this disease, 4 of whom required extensive orthopedic treatment, were reported.
