Pseudoexstrophy of the bladder: a rare variant.
A 15-day-old female presented with a healed omphalocele and a triangular musculoskeletal defect in the hypogastric area similar to the defect seen in classic bladder exstrophy. The bladder was normal on exploration. The defect was successfully closed using a bilateral anterior pubic ramotomy. Only ten cases of pseudoexstrophy have been reported in the world literature.
