A case of congenital colonic atresia associated with atresia ani.
The association of atresia ani with congenital colonic atresia is extremely rare, with only one such case having been reported up to date. We have recently treated a female infant with atresia ani (covered anus complete) accompanied by atresia of the sigmoid colon, who was managed by three stage surgery.
