Abstract:
We report the case of a male newborn with covered bladder exstrophy, high anorectal malformation, and rectourethral fistula. The child had a split symphysis and diverging rectus muscles in the infraumbilical region. The ventral part of the bladder was covered with thin, fragile skin and some portions of the bladder bulged out as abdominal-wall hernias. Two of these hernias were located just above the penis, and the overlying skin showed a resemblance to scrotal skin. The penis was small and slightly laterally displaced, but otherwise normal; the child also had unilateral reflux into a dysplastic left kidney. The bladder neck and posterior urethra were patulous, but there was no urinary incontinence. The child underwent a singlestage reconstruction of the exstrophic lesion and a staged repair of the anorectal malformation. The clinical significance of this entity is discussed and the literature reviewed.
