What are the types of bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex?

Bladder exstrophy is one condition in a group of birth defects called bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC). Some babies are born with one type of BEEC. Others have multiple BEEC conditions.

The other types of BEEC include:

  • Epispadias occurs when a baby’s urethra does not form properly.
  • Cloacal exstrophy occurs when the genitals, bladder and rectum do not separate.
