CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF THE URINARY BLADDER-1 BLADDER EXTROPHY Characterized by absence of the anterior bladder wall. Has a male to female ratio of 3:1. Diagnosis can be made solely by clinical observation. Plain radiograph shows wide separation (diastasis) of the pubic bones. Symphysis pubis is separated by a gap as wide as the sacrum. May be associated with epispadias and cloacal anomalies. IVU is useful to examine the upper renal tract b/c ureteric obstruction is a known association. The dilated ureters sometimes give a classical hurley-stick (base ball stick) appearance. Differential diagnosis is epispadias which also gives pubic symphysis diastasis in some cases.
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF THE URINARY BLADDER-2 BLADDER DUPLICATION A rare congenital anomaly. When complete, each half of the bladder has its own normal muscle, ipsilateral ureter and urethra. When duplication is incomplete, the divided bladder components drain via a single urethra. Septate bladders also drain through a single urethra. Diagnosis is made by cystography. BLADDER AGENESIS Rare and incompatible with life. BLADDER EARS Results from lateral protrusions of the bladder due to extraperitoneal herniations through the inguinal ring into the inguinal canal. Associated with a high incidence of inguinal hernia and usually seen in infants. It is not a true congenital anomaly but a hernial deformity. Radiological diagnosis is by cystography and IVU.
Consists of absence of anterior abdominal wall (recti) muscles; congenital enlargement of the bladder; hydroureter ; urinary tract dysplasia and undescended testes. Almost always occurs in males. Has a poor prognosis. Bladder wall is thickened. The trigone is enlarged and this leads to vesico-ureteric reflux.
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF THE URETHRA-3 URETHRAL STENOSIS Cause of narrowing of the urethra. Diagnosed by RUCG. URETHRAL ATRESIA Incompatible with life. Results in fetal death during the fourth month of gestation when production of urine begins. Fetus may survive if there is a fistulous connection with the urachus to the bladder or with the rectum.
