Abstract

• Three cases of prune belly syndrome occurred in two siblingsand their first cousin. Extensive studies of families and closerelations of patients in index cases will help to reconcilethe various etiologic hypotheses that incriminate primary mesodermaldefect, urethral obstruction, and genetic factors.
