The main sign of bladder exstrophy in newborns is an exposed bladder at birth. Other symptoms of bladder exstrophy in children can range from child to child. These symptoms can include:
Experts are not certain what causes bladder exstrophy in some children. They think that the environment or genetics may play a role.
Children born with bladder exstrophy will need surgery shortly after birth to repair the condition. The surgery may be done in one operation, or in a series of three surgeries over time. The type of surgery your baby will need depends on their specific condition. Your care team at Arkansas Children’s is experienced in treating bladder exstrophy in children and will work with you to develop the best treatment plan for your child’s specific needs.
