Bladder and Urethral Agenesis: A Report of 2 Cases

Abstract

Abstract Bladder and urethral agenesis are among the rarest congenital anomalies, and to our knowledge, only 27 cases have been reported in English literature until now. The authors treated two such cases in the last one year. The first case was diagnosed at 2 months of age, and the second case at 10 months of age. Both were females. In The first case ureterosigmoidostomy was done at 1 year of age. The second case had features of chronic kidney disease due to a stenosed ectopic ureter. Therefore, diverting cutaneous ureterostomy was done. Bladder and urethral agenesis are associated with other congenital anomalies, mostly with upper urinary tract anomalies. To prevent diagnostic delay and to reduce mortality cum mortality by early management, awareness of this rare condition is essential
