Covered exstrophy with anorectal malformation and vaginal duplication

Jitendra K Singh et al. J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg. 2011 Jan.

Abstract

Covered exstrophy is a rare variant of the exstrophy-epispadias complex. We report a female newborn with covered exstrophy, absent anal opening and duplication of the introitus and the lower vagina. This rare, previously unreported, combination of anomalies highlights the complexity of the embryological events in the caudal area during separation of the hindgut and allantois.

Keywords: Anorectal malformation; covered exstrophy; vaginal duplication.
