Pseudoexstrophy with epispadias.

The exstrophy variants are uncommon anomalies. The variants of the exstrophy complex have all the stigmata of the classical exstrophy such as divergent recti, widened symphysis pubis, and low-set umbilicus; however, the urinary tract is intact to a varying degree. Pseudoexstrophy, an exstrophy variant, is very rarely associated with epispadias. We report an unusual case of pseudoexstrophy with epispadias, in whom the intact bladder was initially covered by a mucous membrane which later epithelialized. The epispadias was repaired using a penile disassembly technique with posterior and ventral placement of bladder neck and urethra. Although the urethral meatus was hypospadiac, the child had achieved dry intervals with occasional stress incontinence.
