Unusual duplicate bladder exstrophy in a female newborn: a case report

J Pediatr Surg. 2012 Aug;47(8):e9-11. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2012.03.067.

Abstract

The authors report a rare variant of exstrophy-epispadias complex, a duplicate bladder with normal bladder communicating with an exstrophic bladder by a fistula, in a girl with no genital malformation except for a duplicated clitoris. This variant could be a hybrid form of duplicate bladder exstrophy and superior vesical fistula. It seems easier to repair and has a better prognosis than classic bladder exstrophy.
