Anorectal Malformation in a Teenager in Ghana—a Case Report

Abstract

Anorectal malformation is a congenital anomaly comprising a wide spectrum of diseases, which can affect male and female and can involve the distal anus and rectum as well as the urinary and genital tracts. The late presentation of patients with anorectalmalformations especially in adolescence is known but rare. This is particularly true in females with rectovestibular fistulas. We present the case of a 17- year old female who underwent a posterior sagittal anoplasty on this account with satisfactory outcome.
