The presence of fistulous communication between the rectum and the urogenital system in case of rectal atresia is even rarer to occur. Aim of the work: this article aimed to describe a case of rectal atresia in a female infant associated with proximal and distal congenital rectovaginal fistula. Results: the clinical, radiological findings and the surgical management were discussed . Conclusion: the case demonstrated the possibility to find a rectovaginal fistula in rectal atresia, and the possibility of recurrence after surgical intervention. | ||||
