Abstract Background With improved operative techniques pregnancy rates have been rising in patients with anomalies of the extrophy-epispadias-complex, including also female patients with bladder extrophy. Specific risks around pregnancy need to be addressed sufficiently beforehand. Case presentation An unplanned pregnancy was detected at 34 weeks in a 39-year old White female patient with former complex bladder extrophy. Decades after her operation she had not received any follow-up medical care and believed to be unable to conceive due to her anomaly. Thus no contraceptive matters were taken. The patient had lived in a stable relationship with regular sexual intercourse for many years. Until 34 weeks the pregnancy was uncomplicated, but then uterine prolapse and signs of beginning pre-eclampsia appeared, and a healthy girl was born with cesarean section. Conclusion As patients with bladder extrophy and other anomalies from the extrophy-epispadias-complex reach adolescence/adulthood, they need continuous medical follow-up and transition of care to adult surgery and gynecology in order to address specific aspects of sexual health, reproduction, contraception, and also cancer screening. In the presented case lack of transition of care resulted in an unplanned and complicated pregnancy. |
