W Bischoff, F Schindera

    Der Urologe. Ausg. A
    |September 1, 1975

    Summary

    This rare case of female epispadias without bladder exstrophy highlights urinary incontinence and bifid clitoris as key symptoms. Surgical reconstruction is recommended after age three, with less than 50% achieving lasting continence.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • Female epispadias without bladder exstrophy is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
    • This condition presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management, particularly concerning urinary function.

    Observation:

    • The presented case features significant urinary incontinence and a bifid clitoris as primary clinical manifestations.
    • The rarity of this specific presentation underscores the need for specialized clinical awareness.

    Findings:

    • The recommended therapeutic approach involves surgical reconstruction of the urethra and bladder neck.
    • Optimal surgical timing is crucial, ideally after the age of three years, to facilitate postoperative bladder continence training.

    Implications:

    • Successful long-term urinary continence is achieved in less than half of the cases, indicating the complexity of the condition.
    • This case emphasizes the importance of tailored surgical strategies and dedicated postoperative care for improving outcomes in rare genitourinary malformations.
