Bladder pseudoexstrophy is a rare form of bladder exstrophy. Bladder exstrophy occurs in 1 in every 30,000 to 50,000 live births. Because bladder pseudoexstrophy is asymptomatic, it may be undiagnosed even in adulthood. A 31-year-old woman with uterus bicornis unicollis and a low-set umbilicus underwent emergency cesarean delivery during the 37th week of pregnancy for chorioamnionitis. Perioperatively, asymptomatic anatomical abnormalities were identified, which included separated rectus abdominis muscles and diastasis of the symphysis pubis. The urinary tract was normal. The patient was diagnosed with bladder pseudoexstrophy. A low-set umbilicus may be a potential marker for the diagnosis of bladder pseudoextrophy.
