Rectoperineal fistula: an unusual cause of anogenital discharge.
The serendipitous presentation of a rectoperineal fistula in a 34-year-old nulliparous woman is described. This surgically correctable cause of an anogenital discharge posed a risk (if unrecognised) of producing a rectovaginal fistula at the time of vaginal delivery.
