Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome also known as Berdon syndrome is characterized by enlarged urinary bladder, small colon and reduced or absent intestinal peristalsis. We report a case of 4 days old female suffering from MMIHS presenting with tension pneumoperitoneum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of MMIHS, having this unusual presentation.
