Neonate With Imperforate Anus and Meconium Streak Along the Penile Shaft.

We present a neonatal male with a rectopenile fistula in the setting of imperforate anus. Reported cases of fistulae exiting on the penile shaft are exceedingly rare. The patient had a diverting colostomy performed within the first 48 hours of life and imaging later revealed no communication with the urinary tract. At 4 months of age the child was brought to the operative suite for penile exploration and posterior sagittal anorectoplasty. The patient's colostomy was reversed 4 months later. We discuss the embryology and management of imperforate anus as well as literature review.
