Article: Duplicate bladder exstrophy: a unique variant.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Duplicate bladder exstrophy is an extremely rare congenital malformation. Two forms have been described, the anteroposterior form and the collateral form, which is the less common. We report a case of bladder exstrophy in association with a duplicated lower urinary tract, omphalocele, colic duplication and diphallia. Fewer than 30 cases of duplicate bladder exstrophy have been described previously, emphasizing the embryologic significance of this case. To our knowledge it is the first reported case of such an association of anomalies with the exstrophy-epispadias complex.Journal of pediatric urology 11/2006; 2(5):483-5. · 1.38 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: We report the case of an unusual genitourinary anomaly in a 5-year-old patient. The malformation consisted of a para-anal persistent urogenital sinus in a 46XX patient associated with a scrotum-like structure in the presumed clitoral location. A duplicate urethra arising from the anterior aspect of the bladder neck drained into the scrotal pouch. Two hemivaginas drained into the urogenital sinus. The patient was totally continent through the urogenital sinus but the duplicate urethra was incontinent. No hormonal problems were encountered. The girl underwent total urogenital sinus mobilization, scrotal pouch ablation, and duplicate urethra resection.Journal of pediatric urology 11/2006; 2(5):489-92. · 1.38 Impact Factor
