Spontaneous ileal perforation complicating low anorectal malformation.
Afr J Paediatr Surg. 2015 Apr-Jun; 12(2):152-4.AJ

Abstract

Anorectal malformation is a common anomaly in neonates. Although colorectal perforations have been reported as a complication, ileal perforation is rarely encountered. This is a report of a 2-day-old boy presenting with a low anorectal malformation, complicated with ileal perforation, necessitating laparotomy and ileal repair. Anoplasty was done for the low anomaly. Early presentation and prompt treatment of anorectal malformations is important to prevent such potential life threatening complication.
