AB Cloacal  exstrophy  is  a  rare  anomaly  in  which  there  is  external  exposure  of  the  bladder  and  the  terminal  aspect  of  the  gut.  Genital  anomalies  are  common  in  patients  with  cloacal  exstrophy.  In  male  patients,  there  is  separation  of  the  penis  into  2  hemiphalluses  in  conjunction  with  pubic  diastasis.  Cryptorchidism  is  usually  present.  About  two-thirds  of  females  with  cloacal  exstrophy  have  fusion  anomalies  of  the  Müllerian  duct  structures  (e.g.,  uterus  didelphys)  and  one-third  have  vaginal  agenesis.  There  is  additional  discussion  of  cloacal  exstrophy  in  Chapter  44.1–6
