Abstract
As an extremely rare malformation, congenital pouch colon is characterized by shortened colon, markedly dilated pouch and anorectal malformations. In boys, pouch usually terminates in a colovesical fistula; in girls, terminal fistula opens into urethra or vestibule. Clinical presentations are typical and and its diagnosis is easily made by a large gas shadow or air-fluid level on radiograph. Its clinical managements and surgical options have remained controversial. Staged repair is performed after colostomy or ileostomy. Yet tubularization of dilated segment is dependent on the length of normal colon. Key words: Colon, abnormalities; Congenital pouch colon
