Subcoronal hypospadias and urethrost...

The omphalocele-exstrophy vesicalis-imperforated anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex is a rare variant of the bladder exstrophy epispadias and multisystem anomalies involving gastrointestinal, genitourinary, skeletal systems. number patients who have OEIS do not terminate their pregnancy small. We present prenatal postnatal radiological images patient diagnosed with at twentieth gestational week.
