摘要
Bladder Extrophy is a rare urogenital malformation of the penis and bladder. This is an impressive fact at birth, due to the absence of the anterior bladder wall and the dorsal side of the penis. We report the clinical observation of a 21-month-old child who consults for urine incontinence from birth, when physical examination showed complete bladder extrophy. The reconstructive surgery allowed forming a bladder reservoir associated with a repair of the penis at the same time. Bladder extrophy is a benign condition whose operative consequences can be simple but urinary incontinence is not uncommon after reconstitution.
