Bladder Exstrophy
Bladder exstrophy is a congenital birth defect that is the malformation of the bladder and urethra, in which the bladder is turned "inside out".
The bladder does not form into its normal round shape but instead is flattened and exposed outside the body. The lower portion of the bladder, a funnel-shaped bladder neck, made up of muscles that open and close the bladder, fails to form correctly.
The urethra and genitalia are not formed completely (epispadius) and the anus and vagina appear anteriorly displaced. Additionally, the pelvic bones are widely separated(diastasis).
