Duplicate bladder exstrophy: A unique variant

An unusual form of duplicate bladder exstrophy

“…Duplicate exstrophy is one such rare variant in which patients present with a patch of exstrophic bladder, a normal complete bladder, diastasis of the symphysis pubis, and occasionally an epispadias. There are fewer than 30 reported cases in the literature [3]. We present an unusual type of duplicate exstrophy with a fistula between the exstrophic bladder and normal bladder.…”

Congenital pouch colon with duplicate bladder exstrophy

“…Embryologically, it represents part of the spectrum of superior vesical fissure in which the underlying fissure has fused, leaving only an overlying bladder-mucosal plate [8]. Less than 30 cases of duplicate exstrophy have been reported [9]. The possible embryologic basis of the association of pouch colon and duplicate bladder exstrophy is as follows.…”

“…[1] The major exstrophy variants include superior vesical fissure, covered exstrophy, pseudoexstrophy, and duplicate bladder exstrophy. [2] Duplicate bladder exstrophy refers to the suprapubic exstrophic mucosal plate with a subjacent covered bladder is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. [2] Two forms of duplicate bladder exstrophy have been described by Lowentritt et al ., Bouhafs et al .…”

“…and Sheldon et al . [123] The first type known as the anteroposterior form is associated with a suprapubic exstrophic mucosal plate and a subjacent covered bladder. The ureters attach to the closed bladder rendering the superficial mucosa dry.…”
