AB  - Prune Belly Syndrome developed urinary ascites
secondary to forniceal rupture. Treatment consisted of
bilateral cutaneous pyelostomies. Even though most
children with Prune Belly Syndrome respond to lower
urinary tract drainage, a cutaneous pyelostomy may be
necessary when the ureters are tortuous and do not drain
adequately following bladder decompression.
