Abstract
Objective: To report a case of a newborn female infant noted to have f eatures of the megacystis - microcolon -intestinal hypoperistalsis syn drome (MMIHS) with the additional features of hydrometrocolpos and seg mental colonic dilatation and review the literature. Methodology: The details of the case were collated and compared with the previous publi shed experience with this condition. Results: Thus far there have been 58 previous cases of MMIHS described, only four of which have had col onic dilatation. A number of concurrent anomalies have been described, but not the hydrometrocolpos or dysmorphic features seen in this pati ent. Conclusion: This case appears to be MMIHS with additional feature s not previously recorded.
