AI Article Synopsis
- Perineal ectopic anus is a congenital anomaly in female infants where the anus is located in the vaginal or vulvar area, and the "barrel gun perineum" variant is even rarer.
- Patients often experience constipation but may seek medical attention for cosmetic concerns instead.
- A case study is presented about a 7-year-old girl with this rare condition, examined innovatively using ultrasound gel as a contrast medium in an MRI of the pelvis.
Article Abstract
Perineal ectopic anus in female infants is not a very uncommon congenital anorectal anomaly with opening into the low vaginal or vulvar region. However, ectopic anus with barrel gun perineum is a less common variety. Patients generally present with frequent history of constipation, but may seek medical help for just aesthetic reasons. We present here one such case of an asymptomatic seven years old female with the rare form of anterior ectopic anus with barrel gun perineum without any fistulous communications with an innovative method of demonstration of the anomaly by using ultrasound gel as rectal contrast in MRI pelvis.
