This study details a rare case of incomplete bladder duplication, identified before birth via prenatal ultrasound. Early diagnosis and surgical repair were crucial for managing associated urinary tract complications in an infant.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Bladder duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with varying presentations.
  • Prenatal diagnosis of genitourinary anomalies is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Incomplete bladder duplication is less common and presents diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of incomplete bladder duplication was diagnosed via prenatal ultrasonography at 35 weeks gestation.
  • The infant presented with bladder neck obstruction and high-grade vesicoureteral reflux affecting a solitary kidney.
  • The condition required surgical repair at 6 months of age.

Findings:

  • Prenatal ultrasonography successfully identified an incomplete bladder duplication.
  • The anomaly was associated with significant secondary complications, including obstruction and reflux.

  • This represents the first documented instance of antenatal diagnosis for incomplete bladder duplication.

    • Implications:

    • Early prenatal detection of incomplete bladder duplication can guide management strategies.
    • Prompt surgical intervention is vital for preventing renal damage in affected infants.
    • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare congenital urogenital anomalies.
