Bladder exstrophy

What it means

Eversion of the posterior bladder wall through the congenitally absent lower anterior abdominal wall and anterior bladder wall.

Exstrophy of the bladder can be associated with epispadias and bifid penis or in females with bifid clitoris, a bifid uterus, and a septated vagina, each of which should be coded separately.
