“…The combination of left‐sided gastroschisis with persistent right umbilical vein gives credence to the theory that the umbilical vein is involved in the pathogenesis of gastroschisis. Not listed in the table are cases with complete diphallia with covered exstrophy (Chadha et al, 2001) and with bladder duplication and exstrophy of the cloaca (Feins and Cranley, 1986), as these are related to BEEC.…”

The bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC) represents an anterior midline defect with variable expression comprising a spectrum of anomalies involving the abdominal wall, pelvis, urinary tract, genitalia, and occasionally the spine and anus. The vast majority of BEEC cases are classified as non-syndromic and the etiology of this malformation is still unknown. This review presents the current state of knowledge on this multifactorial disorder, including historical retrospect, phenotypic and anatomical characterization, epidemiology, proposed developmental mechanisms, existing animal models, and implicated genetic and environmental components. These published lines of evidence argue strongly that BEEC occurs as a result of strong genetic predisposition that is yet to be deciphered.
