Rare variant of bladder exstrophy associated with urethral, bladder, and colonic duplication.
Urethral duplication, bladder duplication, and bladder exstrophy are rare congenital urinary tract anomalies. We present an extremely rare case of complete urethral and bladder duplication in a boy with bladder exstrophy, omphalocele, and colonic duplication. Bladder augmentation was subsequently performed using the left exstrophic bladder as a patch to augment the right duplicated bladder.
