The prune-belly syndrome (PBS) usually is described as a deficiency of the anterior abdominal muscle involving bilateral cryptorchidism and urinary tract malformations. In this report, we will present an eleven-month-old boy with PBS associated with a complex cardiac anomaly. A bilateral bidirectional Glenn shunt was performed with the diagnosis of isolated dextrocardia, single ventricle, pulmonary atresia, incomplete A-V septal defect, hemiazygos continuity, persistent right superior vena cava, patent ductus arteriosus-dependent pulmonary blood flow. The patient required special consideration for postoperative pulmonary care.
