Rectal atresia is a rare condition in which the anus and sphincter muscles are normally developed, with usually no fistulous communication with the urinary tract. An unusual case of rectal atresia associated with rectobulbar urethral fistula treated by a combination of coloanal anastomosis and mucosal proctectomy via a posterior sagittal approach is reported for the first time.
