At birth, he was diagnosed with Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome and was noted to have rectovesical and vesicocutaneous fistulae likely iatrogenically created from shunt placement. While fetal interventions are often required, a multidisciplinary team approach is often necessary as complications occur.
