Abstract

FERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ, Jesús Ángel  and  PARODI HUECK, Luis. Congenital recto-vaginal fistula associated with a normal anus (type H fistula) and rectal atresia in a patient. Report of a case and a brief revision of the literature.. Invest. clín [online]. 2015, vol.56, n.3, pp.301-308. ISSN 0535-5133.

Congenital recto-urogenital type fistulas with a normal anus and rectal atresia, represent both anorectal malformations that are infrequently seen in clinical practice. We describe the case of a girl with an association of these two anomalies, together with a double vagina who, on her seventh day of life, expelled feces through her genitals. The malformations were corrected by means of a posterior sagittal approach, descending from the rectum to the anus without perineal dissection. The vaginal septum was resected thru the vulva. There is no evidence of recurrence of the recto-vaginal fistula. 

Keywords : Anorectal  malformation; H-typerectovestibular fistulas; H-typerectovaginal fistulas; rectal atresia; stenosis rectal.
