title: [Perinatal neonatal lesions: retrovaginal tears].
abstract: Neonatal injuries produced during the childbirth or in the maneuvers of resuscitation they have a high morbidity and suppose the 8th reason of mortality in newborns. The aim of this article is to check our casuistry in the last 10 years and to present a case report of rectovaginal tear with the possible therapeutic options published in the literature. There were gathered a total of 8 perinatal neonatal injuries, being the majority of them clause-contused (5) in hairy leather, pinna and thorax. Other cases were affecting the perine: an anal tear and two rectovaginal tears; one of these patients needed colostomy and surgical repair of the perine. Only a small percentage of the perinatal neonatal injuries are valued by the paediatric surgeon. Some of them are serious and can have important consequences. The colostomy and primary or secondary closing is a therapeutic sure option in rectovaginal tears.
