Objective:
To report the management of urinary tract obstruction and infection in a pregnant woman with unrepaired bladder exstrophy.
Case Report:
A 27-year-old pregnant woman with unrepaired bladder exstrophy was referred to our hospital with a complaint of bilateral flank pain in the second trimester. After two-dimensional abdominal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and a urine analysis, she was diagnosed with an upper urinary tract infection due to ureteral obstruction secondary to unrepaired congenital bladder exstrophy and an intrauterine pregnancy. J-tube insertion was performed after locating the ureteral orifices and antibiotics were administered. Symptoms rapidly resolved. She delivered a normal male infant by caesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation.
Conclusion:
Standard urological management of the ureteral obstruction in pregnancy was successful in this extreme case of unrepaired bladder exstrophy associated with an intrauterine pregnancy. The perinatal outcome was good.
