Case Report on Epispadias
A BSTRACT The exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC) is one of the most difficult patient populations that pediatric urologists encounter. After the first week of birth, they typically require surgery incorporating numerous reconstruction techniques. Issues with continence, sexual function, and the look of the lower abdomen and genitals are common problems in later years. The most severe congenital midline abnormality in humans is the bladder EEC. The EEC is now recognized as a continuum ranging from a single genito-urethral defect affecting both sexes (epispadias) to a classic bladder exstrophy with an open pelvis and bladder in addition to the genital defect, ending in a multiorgan anomaly called the cloacal exstrophy. Recent long-term outcome studies have demonstrated that there have been relatively few significant increases in functional outcomes. We describe a rare complication that is a birth defect in a 4-year-old male. The patient was advised for surgery for its birth defect. We experienced a case of a 4-year-old male having a rare birth defect known as epispadias which can be cured by surgery.
