Description
Sushma Nakka and co-authors report a rare birth defect repair in a young girl, in work from 2026. Isolated female epispadias, a misplaced urinary opening without bladder defects, is seldom seen. It is often mistaken for bedwetting or repeat bladder infections.
The six-year-old had leaked urine since birth and suffered repeat infections. Exam showed a split clitoris and a wide urinary opening. Surgeons repaired the defect in one stage through a perineal approach. Afterward she stayed dry, passed urine in a good stream, and could hold it for up to two hours. The case urges early checks when leakage persists from birth. Timely repair can restore normal continence.
