Congenital rectovestibular fistula associated with rectal atresia: A rare occurrence
A 7-month-old female baby was referred to us with complaints of abnormal anal opening. The baby was full-term with no significant perinatal history. The mother gave history of a non-functioning normally located anal opening with passage of stools from the vestibule. Examination revealed three openings in the vestibule with a normally located anal opening. On probing, the anal opening was blind and permitting only 1.5 cm of the Hegar's dilator inside []. Using the posterior sagittal approach, the fistula was mobilized and circumferential anastomosis was established with the rectal segment. The patient made an uneventful recovery. At 1-year follow-up, the baby is doing well and has voluntary bowel movements.
