Abstract: Prune Belly syndrome, also known as Eagle-Barrett syndrome, is a rare congenital malformation characterized by hypoplasia of the abdominal musculature, cryptorchidism, and abnormalities in the urinary tract. Treatment is generally conservative, with surgical interventions considered in specific cases based on the severity of organ involvement. This report presents the case of a 37-week-old male newborn diagnosed with Prune Belly syndrome, confirmed through clinical evaluation and ultrasound. This case emphasizes the critical role of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
