Inversio veslcce unlnnrite. Prolapsus vc- SICCB unnaricE inverse. — If the urachns re- mains open after birth, the urinary bladder may be expelled, and thereby inverted through it. R. Froriep(C////wg. Kupfertafeln, Heft 67. Taf. cccxl.) has given an example of this malformation. It ought to be distinguished from the inversion of the bladder through the urethra, which is possible even in adult women (Voigtel). If we take a general survey of all these cases 'of non-closure of the hypogastric region, it is evident that they are intimately connected with one another. The cloacal disposition is the highest, the ectopia of the urinary bladder the lowest, de- gree of malformation, and therefore the latter is a distinct transition towards the natural con- dition. The inversion of the urinary bladder observed by Froriep has, as to its origin, no direct relation to the other forms. It is but an accidental effect of the remaining open of the urachus, through which the bladder chanced to become inverted, and the urine flowed away through the urethra if the child was held up- right. From the gradual transition of one form into the other, I conclude that the origin of this malfor
