title: Imperforate anus associated with a recto-bulbar-cutaneous fistula.
abstract: This is the report of two newborn boys with imperforate anus associated with a long rectocutaneous fistula running deep into the scrotum and communicating, in its midportion, with the bulbar urethra. The findings are compared with those of a somewhat similar case in the literature, with some speculations as to the possible embryogenesis of the lesion.
