Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome: a case report.

[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]

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 al ., 1996 ; Srikanth et al ., 1993 ). The disease is found in females three or four times more than in males (Srikanth et al ., 1993 ; Sen et al ., 1993 ; Hirato et al ., 2003 ). Most of the cases die within the early months of their lives (Yigit et al ., 1996 ; Srikanth et al ., 1993 ; Sen et al ., 1993 ; Hirato et al ., 2003 ). We present the case of a female newborn with antenatal ultrasound revealing intestinal mass and bilateral hydroureteronephrosis . The case was admitted for intestinal obstruction after birth .
