Abstract:
The bladder exstrophy and classic epispadias represent a spectrum of congenital anomalies with different degrees of anterior midline defect. Although the anomaly usually occurs sporadically there are some cases indicative of a strong genetic component. We present the clinical data of two siblings with bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC), who were the product of consanguineous union. All previous reports of familial BEEC in the literature have been reviewed.
