| Abstract: | The cases of three females with deficiency of the abdominal muscles are reported. In one, severe urinary tract changes, typical of the prune belly syndrome in males was found. Twenty-three cases of prune belly syndrome in young females are reviewed. In over half, urinary tract changes were present. Intravenous urography and micturating cystourethrography are indicated in all young females with reduced abdominal musculature. |
