Abstract

A very rare case of female epispadia without bladder extrophy is presented. The main symptoms with this malformation is incontinence and the presence of a bifid clitoris. The therapy of choice is the operative reconstruction of the urethra and reforming the bladder neck. This should not be carried out before the age of three years since the post operative bladder continence training is important for the success. Lasting urinary continence can only be expected in less than 50% of the cases.
