Abstract

A rare case of congenital H-type urethroanal fistula is described. In this newborn infant, the anterior urethra was of normal caliber apart from focal stenosis at the site of the fistula. Successful surgical excision of the fistula and repair of the urethra and anal canal was performed by the perineal route at the age of 3 months. A review of similar cases reported in the literature is presented.
