Hydrometrocolpos and segmental colonic dilatation in a girl with megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome

Abstract

<h4>Objective</h4>To report a case of a newborn female infant noted to have features of the megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) with the additional features of hydrometrocolpos and segmental colonic dilatation and review the literature.<h4>Methodology</h4>The details of the case were collated and compared with the previous published experience with this condition.<h4>Results</h4>Thus far there have been 58 previous cases of MMIHS described, only four of which have had colonic dilatation. A number of concurrent anomalies have been described, but not the hydrometrocolpos or dysmorphic features seen in this patient.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This case appears to be MMIHS with additional features not previously recorded.
