Description: (OMIM) Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is an anterior midline defect with variable expression involving the infraumbilical abdominal wall including the pelvis, urinary tract, and external genitalia (Gearhart and Jeffs, 1998). BEEC is one of the most severe ...
Clinical Description OMIM Utsch et al. (2006) reported a newborn girl with classic exstrophy of the bladder. Prenatal ultrasound studies showed protrusion of the abdominal wall and a single umbilical artery. After birth, she was noted to have diastasis of the ...
Population genetics OMIM The prevalence of BEEC among individuals of European descent has been estimated to be 1 in 30,000 to 40,000 live births with a male-to-female ratio of 2.3:1 (Shapiro et al., 1984; Utsch et al., 2006).
