Presentation of high ano-rectal malformation beyond neonatal period.
Anorectal malformation is one among the common congenital malformations usually encountered. The babies usually present early after birth with complaints of missing anal opening, or abnormally placed anal opening, but some patients have presented beyond the early newborn period without recognition of their anorectal malformation. We are presenting a case of a male child with high ARM, who unusually presented first at the age of 45 days, without gross abdominal distension or septicaemia.
