Pseudoexstrophy of the bladder diagnosed prenatally. (13th June 2013) - Choi, See Min
Abstract What's already known about this topic? When a cystic mass is seen at the base of the umbilical cord that appears to be in direct communication with the bladder, the differential diagnosis includes urachal anomaly and pseudoexstrophy of the bladder. What does this study add? This is the first case of pseudoexstrophy of the bladder diagnosed prenatally. This case had unique findings on prenatal imaging: a cystic mass at the base of the umbilical cord with a wide communication with the bladder that persists as gestation progress.
