Prenatal Megacystis and Bowel Dilation: A Case Report and Literature Review of ACTA2-Related Multisystemic Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome

2026-06-08

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Fetal megacystis is a rare prenatal finding with a broad differential diagnosis, including obstructive, myopathic, and neurogenic aetiologies. We present the case of a male fetus with megacystis and dilated proximal bowel loops, where megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) was suspected antenatally. Prenatal genetic testing was declined. Postnatally, the infan...
