Abstract

We report prune belly syndrome, a rare congenital malformation, in a set of twins delivered to a young couple with a history of three previous first trimester spontaneous abortions, discordant HIV seropositivity and antenatal ultrasound report that indicated renal abnormalities in only one of the twins. The challenges of management are discussed.Keywords: Prune Belly Syndrome, Twins, Nigeria, Management challenges
