Exstrophy.—The most common fault of development, however^ is the absence of the anterior vesica If the fault of development is not so as incomplete exstrophy, the abdominal walls may uniteentirelj- up to the umbilicus, which fails to close andleaves a fistulous communication with the bladderthrough the still patent urachus. An even lesserdegree of the same deformitj- is represented by a pro-longation of the bladder up into tne lower portion ofthe urachus. Sometimes the canal may be shut offfrom the bladder and form a cyst, or a series of cysts. The suflfering in a case of complete exstrophy isusually very great.
