A very rare syndrome and its rare urological complication: Incomplet bladder duplication in Robinow syndrome.

OBJECTIVES

Robinow syndrome is a very rare syndrome characterized by short stature, extremity deformities, costovertebral abnormalities, renal/external genital malformations, and fetal facial appearance. It might be inherited by either autosomal dominant or severe recessive form. Diagnosis is generally established by the aid of genetic mutation and phenotypic findings. The urogenital component of the disease frequently presents with microgenitalia such as micropenis and/or cryptorchidism.

METHODS

Herein, a four-year-old boy with Robinow syndrome accompanied by incomplete bladder duplication is discussed.

RESULTS

The duplication in the bladder was screened by cystoscopy and corrective surgery was performed.

CONCLUSIONS

This rare manifestation is the first for urological findings of Robinow syndrome in literature.
