Bladder exstrophy in the newborn. Antenatal and postnatal diagnosis

Abstract:

Between the 6th and 7th weeks of amenorrhea, the embryonic disc folds on both longitudinal and transverse plains. The embryonic plate converges at the level of the umbilicus, thereby closing the extracelomic area. The following five anomalies are associated with abdominal wall defects: onphalocele, gastroschisis, ectopia cordis, Body stalk anomaly and cloacal exstrophy which includes bladder extrophy. We describe the case of a pregnant woman with fetus diagnosed with ambiguous genitalia during pregnancy, and postnatal diagnosis of bladder exstrophy.
