Bladder exstrophy is a very rare congenital malformation in which the anterior wall of the bladder is absent, and the posterior wall is exposed externally. Although sonographic findings of bladder exstrophy have been documented, we report a case presenting with a solid mass in the lower fetal abdomen with umbilical arteries running alongside the mass. The relationship between umbilical arteries and bladder exstrophy is a new sonographic finding which may be helpful in the prenatal diagnosis of this condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
