Anterior abdominal wall defects are rare anomalies that can affect multiple organ
systems including gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and the neurospinal
axis. The highly varied, complex anatomy in this patient population creates a challenging
reconstruction scenario that merits careful surgical planning. We present an unusual
female variant with an anorectal malformation as well as musculoskeletal and genital
abnormalities consistent with classic bladder exstrophy in which the urinary bladder,
sphincter, and urethra were largely uninvolved.
