Abstract

Introduction and importance: OEIS complex is a rare and complex anomaly of the genitourinary and intestinal tract. It includes Omphalocele, Exstrophy of cloaca, Imperforate anus and Spinal defects.

Presentation of case: We are reporting a case of OEIS complex.

Clinical discussion: Cloacal exstrophy is considered the most severe ventral abdominal wall defect. Diagnosis is primarily antenatal based on the presenting features on ultrasonography. Management requires initial resuscitation and stabilization followed by either single staged closure or multistage procedures by multi-disciplinary surgical team.

Conclusion: The introduction of better diagnostic techniques and the detection of fetal malformations during pregnancy is it's the cornerstone of care.
