Abstract
Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital malformation. The incidence of this rare condition is calculated between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 50,000 live births. The reconstruction of this malformation is one of the most challenging conditions managed by pediatric urologists. The exact incidence of patients with bladder exstrophy seeking treatment in adulthood is not documented adequately in the literature. The aim of this study is to present a 24-year-old female with bladder exstrophy who was referred to the emergency department of our hospital due to a high fever. The diagnosis of acute right pyelonephritis was determined after physical examination and computed tomography. The patient was hospitalized for intravenous antibiotics. She decided that she did not want any reconstructive intervention besides the opposite consultation.
