In their recently published case report, Lowery et al presented 2 patients with bladder agenesis and concomitant pelvic arterial anomaly and suggested the 2 anatomical variants are causally related. Bladder agenesis is extremely rare with only 25 live births recorded in the literature. With so few patients to study, much of what is known is through case reports such as Lowery’s. We herein would like to present a case of bladder agenesis who recently received a living donor kidney transplant 3 weeks ago and was found to have normal pelvic vascular anatomy both on preoperative imaging and intraoperatively. These findings contradict Lowery’s interpretation that bladder agenesis may be causally related to aberrant pelvic arterial anatomy.
