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

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Robinow syndrome is a very rare syndrome characterized by short stature, extremity deformities, costovertebralabnormalities, renal/external genital malformations, and fetal facial appearance. It might be inherited by either autosomaldominant 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.
