Key Clinical Message In the presence of megacystis in the second half of pregnancy, with increased amniotic fluid, especially in a female fetus, the most likely diagnostic result is megacystis, microcolon, intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome, MMIHS . In these cases, the diagnosis of MMIHS should be strongly considered instead of lower urinary tract obstruction.
