Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrom (MMIHS) is a quite rare congenital and fatal disease which was firstly defined by Berdon and his colleagues. It appears through a widely enlarged bladder and microcolon and its cause is unknown (Berdon et al., 1976; Carmelo et al., 2005; Makhija et al., 1999; Loening-Baucke and Kimura 1999; Redman et al., 1984; Hsu et al., 2003; Yigit et ...

We herein present a megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) case followed by ultrasound (US) examinations before birth. During the prenatal US examination of a 34-year-old woman, an enlarged bladder with bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter of the fetus were detected. The amniotic fluid was normal in the second trimester but polyhydramnios was observed in the third...

Case Presentation A female very preterm was delivered by caesarean section because of abnormal Doppler findings. The mother suffered from viral pneumonia requiring intensive care in the third trimester of pregnancy. Serial fetal ultrasound examinations showed a megacys...

IntroductionFetal bladder outlet obstruction (or lower urinary tract [LUTO]) is most commonly caused by posterior urethral valves and atresia can lead to abnormal renal development pulmonary hypoplasia. It associated with a high rate of perinatal morbidity mortality.DefinitionPrenatally detected LUTO occurs because blockage in the (the outlet) developing fetus leads megacystis, thickened wall, ...
