Pseudoexstrophy associated with megalourethra.
Pseudoexstrophy is a rare exstrophy variant that has musculoskeletal stigmata of the exstrophy complex without any associated defect in the urinary system. The authors report a case of pseudoexstrophy with scaphoid megalourethra, and anorectal malformation. Kidneys and ureters were normal. Preliminary surgery consisted of a divided high sigmoid colostomy. The rare combination of pseudoexstrophy and megalourethra is discussed.
