Bladder exstrophy is a rare malformation occurring predominantly in males, with an incidence of 1:50,000 live births. Variants of bladder exstrophy including “split symphysis variants”, are very rare malformations with an incidence of 1 in 400,000-500, 0000 live births, making up 8% of all exstrophy patients [1, 2]. We describe a child with duplicate exstrophy, that is one of the rarest variants, and add a further case to the scarce published literature.

Abstract

Bladder exstrophy is a rare malformation occurring predominantly in males, with an incidence of 1:50,000 live births. Variants of bladder exstrophy including “split symphysis variants”, are very rare malformations with an incidence of 1 in 400,000-500, 0000 live births, making up 8% of all exstrophy patients [1, 2]. We describe a child with duplicate exstrophy, that is one of the rarest variants, and add a further case to the scarce published literature.
