Abstract

Exstrophy-epispadias complex encompasses a spectrum of disorders with lower abdominal midline malformations, including epispadias, bladder exstrophy, and cloacal exstrophy, also known as Omphalocele-Exstrophy-Imperforate Anus-Spinal Anomalies Complex. In this review, the authors discuss the epidemiology, embryologic cause, prenatal findings, phenotypic characteristics, and management strategies of these 3 conditions. The primary focus is to summarize outcomes pertaining to each condition.

Keywords: Bladder exstrophy; Cloacal exstrophy; Epispadias; OEIS.
