Epidemiology andEmbryology
oftheBladder Exstrophy: Epispadias
Complex
NicolasFernandez, CamilaMoreno, andDariusBagli
Introduction
Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex is a spectrum of anomalies that affect
genital and bladder development.
The embryology and developmental pathology are complex and involve interaction between multiple tissue and cell types. Currently, most of the mechanistic
details regarding the precise etiology of bladder exstrophy remain unknown. Our
understanding remains limited to several published theories given the inability to
follow early human embryological events to the nal development of exstrophy in
the late fetus.
The purpose of this chapter is to present the available epidemiology and review
the present embryological, physiopathological, and molecular understanding of this
complex condition.

Epidemiology
Bladder exstrophy is a rare and complex birth defect. It is considered a spectrum
that includes epispadias, classic bladder exstrophy, and omphalocele-exstrophy
imperforated anus spinal anomaly (OEIS) [1]. The global reported prevalence is 2–8

cases per 100,000 newborns [2, 3]. Depending on the type of defect, different prevalence rates have been reported. For epispadias, the reported prevalence is 2.4 per
100,000 newborns, with 2–4 per 100,000 newborns for bladder exstrophy and 0.5–1
per 100,000 newborns for OEIS [4]. One of the largest epidemiological analyses on
bladder exstrophy reported 546 cases per 24,355,094 newborns, which results in a
prevalence of 2 per 100,000 newborns. Reports of prevalence changes over time and
high/low prevalence geographical clusters have been described in the past [3]. An
initial report from the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Monitoring
Systems (ICBDSR) between 1980 and 2006 reported a prevalence of 2.07 per
100,000 newborns (95% CI=1.90–2.25) [2]. Another multinational study reported
a prevalence of 3.3 per 100.000 newborns during the period between 1967 and 1985
[5] (Fig.1.1).
Stillbirth prevalence has been reported to be 11 per 1000 stillborn fetuses [3].
Recent publications have reported a reduction in live birth prevalence over time,
probably related to pregnancy terminations [3]. Interestingly, areas with prevalence
below the worldwide average have been reported in China and South America [2].
The lack of epidemiological data from large, densely populated countries like India,
where there are no national surveillance systems, limits the ability to conclude prevalence trends in this region [6]. Variations can be attributed to differences in case
detection or variations in inclusion criteria used in different surveillance systems
and whether epispadias cases alone are included in the spectrum or not. Specically,
case denition is reported to be different within surveillance systems, as seen in the
EUROCAT [3].
Prenatal detection of bladder exstrophy was reported for the rst time in 1995 by
Gearhart etal. Diagnostic criteria include: (1) absence of a distended bladder, (2)

region do not fall withing the same time periods [2, 3]

low insertion of the umbilical cord, (3) wide ramus pubis, (4) small genitalia, and
(5) abdominal mass [7]. An accurate report of prenatal prevalence diagnosis is difcult to interpret given the technical difculties in its detection, the timing of ultrasounds during pregnancy, and the regulations about pregnancy terminations in
different regions of the world. A longitudinal cohort of prenatally screened patients
reported that only one-quarter of the babies born with bladder exstrophy were
detected with prenatal ultrasounds [8].
Bladder exstrophy presents 1.5–2.3 times more frequently in male patients than
in females [9]. It is important to remember that in severe OEIS cases, initial gender
designation itself may be challenging, requiring multidisciplinary management. For
this reason, initial case identication by gender may not always be prospectively
known [10].
The most common risk factors associated with bladder exstrophy are low birth
weight and Caucasian ethnicity [2, 11, 12]. Smoking during pregnancy and prior
family/siblings history of bladder exstrophy have been reported to be highly associated. Maternal age has also been identied as a risk factor, with older mothers having a higher risk. Exposure to endocrine disruptors and invitro fertilization have
also been described to support a 7.5-fold increased risk [13]. A large multinational
study has reported a mortality of 6% in the rst day of life and 3.5% in the rst
6days of life [3].
About one-third of patients born with bladder exstrophy have associated anomalies. Upper urinary tract anomalies are the most frequent, present in about 40% of
the cases. Omphalocele is present in 34% of the cases, followed by anorectal malformations in 21%, neural tube defects in 18%, and cardiac anomalies in 15% [2,
12]. The risk of another child being born with bladder exstrophy in a given family
is 1in 100 cases [14]. Moreover, for pregnant women with bladder exstrophy, the
reported risk of carrying a fetus with bladder exstrophy is 500 times greater than in
the general pregnant population and is reported to be 1in 70 newborns [9]. A higher
risk of bladder exstrophy has also been reported within families with other members
harboring midline congenital anomalies [15].
Embryology andPathophysiology
Etymology
The term “exstrophy” in the medical context is used primarily to refer to conditions
related to the abnormal development and exposure of internal organs. As is often the
case, the term originates from the Greek. The word “ek” translates as “out,” and
“strophe” translates to “a turning.” Thus, the term literally means a “turning inside
out,” capturing the medical conditions where internal organs are exposed or externalized. This accurately describes the nature of bladder exstrophy and, where present, penile epispadias, whose internal structures are presented outside the body
cavity. Indeed, exstrophy of the bladder often co-presents with spinal, abdominal
wall, and colorectal anomalies.
