Prenatal diagnosis of the megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.
[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
The
ultrasonographic
and
necropsy
findings
in
a
male
fetus
with
the
megacystis-
microcolon
-
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
syndrome
are
reported
.
The
presence
of
vacuolation
and
degeneration
in
smooth
muscle
of
bowel
and
bladder
wall
supports
a
previous
suggestion
that
the
macroscopic
findings
in
this
syndrome
are
the
consequence
of
an
underlying
visceral
myopathy
.
The
unusual
degree
of
severity
of
the
findings
in
this
fetus
may
explain
the
marked
skewing
of
the
sex
ratio
observed
in
affected
liveborn
infants
.
