چکیده
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1806-9282.62.03.197 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.
