Prune belly (urethral obstruction sequence) has previously been reported as an isolated malformation sequence, in association with trisomy 18 (Nevin et al. , 1983) and more recently with trisomy 13 (Beckman et al. , 1984). A further case associated with trisomy 13 in a fetus is reported. This emphasizes the importance of karyotyping fetuses with prune belly identified prenatally.
