title: Successful pregnancy in a patient with previous bladder exstrophy.
abstract: Bladder exstrophy is an unusual congenital anomaly. Patients becoming pregnant with such anomaly after surgical repair are even rarer. The present case reports a lower segment Caesarean section delivery of a living healthy baby in a woman who had been operated on for bladder exstrophy at the age of 18 years. This is the first case of this type seen in our institution in 35 years.
