Attending, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Michael Reese Medical Center, Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois Female epispadias is a congenital anomaly representing a mild form of the spectrum of exstrophy of the bladder. Unrecognized and untreated, the handicap associated with the physical malformation can create overwhelming clinical and psychological problems for the affected female. Radiographic findings of spinal dysrhaphism with diastasis of the pubic bones are often associated with, and can afford the first clue to, the physical findings of absent clitoris, ununited labia and patulous and foreshortened urethra.
