Abstract

Down Syndrome - complications Fatal Outcome Female Heart Septal Defects, Atrial - complications Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular - complications Humans Infant, Newborn Prune Belly Syndrome - complications
We report the first case of a girl born to a diabetic mother who was found to have Down syndrome and prune-belly anomalies (bilateral gross hydronephrosis, megaureter, and megacystis with abdominal muscle deficiency). The girl also had an atrioventricular septal defect. Diagnoses were confirmed with a cytogenetic study and micturating cystourethrography. She died at 29 days of age with a sudden collapse, most likely due to sepsis.
