Superior vesical fissure: an exstrophy variant or a distinct clinical entity.
A case of superior vesical fissure is presented to discuss the embryologic origin of the anomaly. In view of the simplicity of the anomaly and the discrepancies between the characteristics of superior vesical fissure and bladder exstrophy, superior vesical fissure is suggested to be a distinct clinical entity with an embryological origin different from bladder exstrophy.
