Variants of the exstrophy-epispadias sequence are exceedingly rare. We report a case of a newborn with duplicate exstrophy of the bladder that mimicked a urethral duplication. We discuss the workup and review the embryology and treatment of exstrophy variants. Keywords: Duplicate exstrophy, Double exstrophy, Exstrophy variants
