SIGMOID COLON PERFORATION IN NEONATE PRESENTING WITH IMPERFORATE ANUS.

Dr. Agraj Mishra, Dr. A. M. Chitale, Dr. Rahul Aggrawal

Abstract :

Spontaneous perforation of the colon is a rare complication in neonates with anorectal malformations (ARMs). There are no detailed studies concerning this complication. Anorectal malformations include a wide spectrum of defects in the development of the lowest portion of the intestinal and urogenital tracts. Many children with these malformations are said to have an imperforate anus because they have no opening where the anus should be. Although the term may accurately describe a child‘s outward appearance, it is often believed the true complexity of the malformation beneath. Here we discuss a case of new born baby with imperforate anus associated with sigmoid colon perforation.
