Vesico-amniotic shunt is one of the methods used to relieve fetal bladder obstruction in some cases of lower urinary tract obstruction. We highlight a 35 week gestation baby boy, who developed acquired abdominal wall defect following placement of the antenatal vesico-amniotic shunt. It is one of the rare complications of placement of vesico- amniotic shunt.
