Imaging findings of a twin male neonate with megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome

Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare congenital defect of the bowel and bladder that is especially rare in males. We present a case of MMIHS in a male nonidentical twin neonate who presented with abdominal distention, urinary retention, and hypoplastic bowel. T...
