A medical condition where a person is born without a bladder.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'kystis' (bladder). This medical term was coined in the 19th century when doctors began systematically naming birth defects using Greek roots.
Acystia is one of the rarest birth conditions in humans—only about 100 cases have ever been documented! The body has to route urine directly to the intestines, which is why early diagnosis is life-changing.
