Description
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.
