Rectoperineal fistula in newborn boys

Abstract 

Three newborn boys presented with features suggestive of classic low anorectal abnormality. However, during surgery they were found to have an intermediate anorectal abnormality and a rectoperineal fistula rather than an anocutaneous fistula. The surgical treatment of these infants is discussed. (J Pediatr Surg 1994 Apr;29(4):536-7)
