A male infant of 35 weeks’ gestational age was born due to maternal preeclampsia with a prenatal diagnosis of Eagle-Barrett or prune belly syndrome (PBS) based on 19-week fetal ultrasound and confirmatory fetal magnetic resonance imaging. The antenatal course was complicated by polyhydramnios requiring a therapeutic amniocentesis and megacystis requiring vesicocentesis. The infant was born via cesarean delivery with meconium-stained amniotic fluid and had respiratory compromise necessitating intubation in the delivery room. Physical examination was noteworthy for a normal thoracic diameter and shape with abdominal dilation and laxity of musculature. On day of life 5, he developed significant abdominal distention and bilious drainage from his orogastric tube. An abdominal radiograph (Figure 1) showed air in the stomach and proximal duodenum with a paucity of distal gas. There was marked dilation of the bladder, outlined by incidental introduction of air from urinary catheter placement. A contrast enema (Figure 2; available at www. jpeds. com) was performed showing a microcolon concerning for small bowel atresia. Subsequent exploratory laparotomy revealed a massively dilated bladder, complete bowel patency with inspissated meconium, and hindgut malrotation, suggestive of megacystismicrocolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS). Direct injection of a hyperosmotic, water-soluble contrast material into the lumen of the small bowel using a 3-mL syringe and 30-gauge needle softened the inspissated meconium, allowing it to be milked into the large bowel and later passed from below.
