SUMMARY Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from failure of fusion of the middle of the pelvis line tissues during embryogenesis. It is characterized by malformation of the lower abdominal wall involving the genitourinary tract and the musculoskeletal system. Its incidence is estimated at 1:30,000 to 1:50,000 live births, and it is 2 or 3 times more frequent in males. The child’s age is important and the best results are obtained when treatment is performed shortly after birth.

Abstract Endometriosis is an ectopic occurrence of tissue morphologically and functionally resembling endometrial tissue in regions outside the uterine cavity. Although scar endometriosis after surgery has been shown to be most common among all the extrapelvic forms of endometriosis, endometriosis after bladder exstrophy surgery has not been reported, and here we present the first known case. A 26-year-old woman with a history of bladder exstrophy was aware of a painful induration at the operative scar located in the left lower abdominal wall, and presented at our hospital. Although the symptoms resolved, recurring exacerbation was observed after 9 months. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a heterogeneous mass 16 mm in diameter in the left abdominal wall with high signal intensity on T1W1 and T2W1 images. She underwent excisional biopsy of the lesion under general anesthesia. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis. Eighteen months after surgery, she was well and free from recurrence.

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized in males by a triad of anomalous genitourinary tract, deficient development of abdominal wall muscles, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Although similar anomalies have been reported in females, by definition they do not full fill the classical triad. Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSM) is a lethal condition characterized by presence of ambiguous genitalia, absent perineal openings (urogenital and anal), and lumbosacral abnormalities. In this original case report, the authors discuss the presentation and management of what would be analogous to a Woodhouse category 1 PBS in a female newborn associated with an overlapping presentation of URSM.

Bladder exstrophy or ectopia vesica is an unusual congenital anomaly which exists in the spectrum of the exstrophy- epispadias complex. It most commonly involves protrusion of the urinary bladder due to defect in the lower abdominal wall. It has variable presentation and often includes abnormalities of the pelvic floor, bony pelvis and genitalia. Patients undertaking pregnancy after surgical repair of such an anomaly are rare. Planned Cesarean section at term is considered the appropriate mode of delivery. We present a case of 21-year-old patient who had uneventful preterm vaginal delivery following surgical repair of bladder exstrophy in childhood.

A duplicated gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 1:4000 live births. Theycan remain asymptomatic and identified incidentally or present as acute cholecystitis, empyema,torsion, cholecystoenteric fistula, Gall bladder lump, or carcinoma. Here the current case is aboutdiscussing a case of a 25-year-old female who presented with symptomatic gallstone disease with aduplicated gallbladder having multiple stones in both the gallbladders. MRCP performedpreoperatively revealed Y type duplication (double Gall bladder with common cystic duct).Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed and it finally revealed H type duplication (double Gallbladder with separate cystic ducts for each Gall Bladder).

Congenital prepubic sinus (CPS) is a very rare congenital anomaly. The baby generally present with discharge from an opening situated in midline below umbilicus to root of penis in male or clitoris in female child. The etiology of this congenital anomaly is not exactly known. There is debate in etiology as one theory support anomalous anterior abdominal wall closure and another support variant of dorsal urethral duplication. Here we are presenting the six cases of CPS with their management and brief discussion on theories that have been proposed for their etiology.

Isolated female epispadias without bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital anomaly affecting 1 in 484,000 females. The presenting features of female epispadias are urinary incontinence and abnormal anatomical features. A 6-year-old girl presented with primary urinary incontinence who on physical examination had a bifid clitoris and labia minora. The vagina and hymen were normal. Voiding cystourethrogram showed no reflux and a funnel shaped proximal urethra. With the diagnosis of isolated female epispadias, one-stage reconstruction of the urethra, bladder neck, labia minora and clitoris was performed.

AbstractRetrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly which has a incidence of occurence of one in 1500 live births. It is known to occur 2.8 times more commonly in males than females. While carrying out a study on congenital anomalies in urinary system in a collection of still born fetuses, a case of retrocaval ureter was noticed in a still born male foetus. In Retrocaval ureter, ureter is S shaped on the right side and a part of inferior vena cava is anterior to the proximal part of the ureter. Here the development of ureter is normal. Whereas the development of inferior vena cava is abnormal.

AbstractOEIS complex is a rare congenital anomaly comprising of the following four components: Omphalocoele, Exstrophy of cloaca, Imperforate anus and Spinal defects. It fonns the extreme end of exstrophy-epispadias complex [BEC] of congenital defects. It is associated with anomalies of gastro-intestioaI, urinary and genital systems. External genitalia are bifid, if present. Etiology is not clear. It can be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound on visualization of 'diaper type' of distribution of anomalies, along with malformations of the limbs. The condition causes severe psychosocial trauma to the parents and family members. In live births, surgical interventions in several stages, are perfonned by skilled expertise only at selected tertiary health care centers. Outcome is highly variable. Prenatal identification of the condition is necessary to give adequate counselling, and have proper planning of the delivery and postnatal management of the baby.

Diphallia or penile duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. It occurs once in every 5.5 million live births. The extent of penile duplication and the number of associated anomalies vary greatly, ranging from a double glans from a penis with no associated anomaly up to complete penile duplication associated with multiple anomalies. Here, we report a 12-year-old boy with complete bifid diphallia associated with bifid scrotum, epispadia, and pubic symphysis diastasis along with a review of the articles pertaining to this anomaly.
