Sumario:EB is an inherited skin disease that presents with the symptom of skin blisters following trauma, Involvement of the Urogenital system in these people is in the form of meatal stenosis, urinary tract infection and ureteral stricture. We introduce patient with EB and urethral involvement. A 32-year-old man without prenatal problems whose EB skin symptoms started at 6 months of age and urinary symptoms started at 12 years of age. Skin changes on prenatal ultrasound at 18 and 21 weeks of gestation will help in the diagnosis. Follow-up of EB patients with ultrasound will help to identify urogenital complications earlier.
