Neonatal Sigmoid Colon Perforation in Low Anorectal Malformation

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are common congenital anomalies in neonates. Colonic perforation is very rare in ARMs. Delay in diagnosis of neonate with ARM results in colonic perforations and life-threatening morbidity. Colonic perforation due to ARM may not be completely avoided; however, early diagnosis and management are essential in assuring better outcomes.
