| Popis: | The characteristic of duplicated exstrophy is the presence of a patch of exstrophic bladder mucosa in the infraumbilical region with a low-set umbilicus, in addition to the normal bladder. Musculoskeletal defects, diastasis pubis, and rectus abdominis can also be found in these patients. We report the first case of a female twin baby with appearance of a low-set umbilicus and diastasis pubis associated with a pubic sinus. The external genitalia and urinary continence were normal. Duplicated exstrophic mucosal remnant was excised, and the histopathologic study of the specimen confirmed urothelium. |
