The exstrophy of the bladder is a serious congenital malformation characterized by a defect in the closure of the inferior abdominal wall, the anterior wall of the bladder, often associated with an abnormality of the urethra, pelvic girdle, external genitalia and of the perineum. While the diagnosis of this malformation is generally made in the antenatal period and is based on a failure to visualize the bladder on morphological ultrasound in the second trimester, in some patients the diagnosis is either made in the early postnatal period or in adulthood. In African societies, the birth of a malformed child is experienced as a real tragedy, taking into account the mystical-religious considerations that surround it on the one hand and the weight it constitutes for families on the other. We report our experience about a case of the bladder exstrophy diagnosed and treated late in a 12-year-old child at university clinics of Lubumbashi in Democratic Republic of the Congo.
