Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Bladder exstrophy, more properly, the exstrophy-epispadias complex is a rare congenital anomaly occurring once every 10,000-50,000 live births with a 2.3:1 as male & female ratio. The diagnosis involves a spectrum of anomalies of the lower abdominal wall, bladder, anterior bony pelvis and external genitalia. It occurs due to failure of the abdominal wall to close during fetal development and results in protrusion of the posterior bladder wall through the lower abdominal wall. We report a case of bladder exstrophy managed by us.
