Abstract

<p>Rectal atresia is a rare type of anorectal malformation. We report the case of a female patient with rectal atresia. She had abdominal distension and started vomiting after oral feeding on day 1. The appearance of the anus was normal, but it was difficult to insert a catheter through the anus. Thus, anorectal malformation was suspected. Ultrasonography and invertography revealed a blind rectal pouch, and the end of the pouch seemed to be membranous atresia that can be compressed by a catheter. A diagnosis of rectal membranous atresia was made, and one-stage transanal surgery was conducted. There were no postoperative complications. Her defecation function is very good without constipation or soiling for the past two years. Since rectal atresia is a rare condition that may occur at various levels and distances from the rectal pouch, accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions are important.</p>
