Abstract
Ano-rectale malformations (ARM) are a spectrum of heterogeneous abnormalities in the development of the rectal canal. Its incidence is usually low and it is a little higher in some developing countries. Boys are more affected than girls and rectobulbar fistula associated with atresia of the anal canal is the most frequent disorder among them. We report the case of a 10-months old infant of male sex, whose mother lived in a mining area and had been complaining of fecaluria since the birth of her child. Physical examination showed fingerprint 1 cm below the intersection of the median raphe and the bi-ischiatic line. Paraclinical examinations showed no other associated malformation. Patient's management was based on anorectoplasty through abdominal and perineal approach with lower abdominoperineal reconstruction. In the post-operative period, the patient received antibiotic treatment and intravenous analgesia as well as dilations, which continued after discharge 2 weeks after surgery. No complications were observed and outcome was favorable. © Tresor Kibangula Kasanga et al.Entities:
