Abstract
Introduction: Anorectal malformation, one of the most common congenital defects, may present with a wide spectrum of defects. Almost all male patients present within first few days of life.Case Presentation: A five-month-old baby boy of Indian origin and nationality presented with anal atresia and associated rectourethral prostatic fistula. The anatomy of the malformation and our patient's good condition permitted a primary definitive repair of the anomaly. A brief review of the relevant literature is included.Conclusion: Delayed presentation of a patient with high anorectal malformation is rare. The appropriate treatment can be rewarding.
