A complex, high cloacal malformation: case report.

Cloacal malformations are rare, complex inhibitional anomalies of early embryogenesis. We report a patient with a cloacal malformation in which a septate vagina and a rectal fistula emptied through a common orifice onto an exstrophic bladder plate. Additional anomalies included an omphalocele and malformations of the upper urinary tract and the lower extremities, skeleton, and vertebral column.
