Abstract
The authors report a rare variant of exstrophy-epispadias complex, a duplicate bladder
with normal bladder communicating with an exstrophic bladder by a fistula, in a girl
with no genital malformation except for a duplicated clitoris. This variant could
be a hybrid form of duplicate bladder exstrophy and superior vesical fistula. It seems
easier to repair and has a better prognosis than classic bladder exstrophy.
