What are the types of exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC)?

Cloacal exstrophy is one condition in a group of birth defects called exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC). It is the most severe type. A baby may have one condition or several.

Other EEC conditions include:

  • Epispadias: A baby’s urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) doesn’t form properly.
  • Bladder exstrophy: A baby’s bladder develops inside out.
