Rectocutaneous fistula with imperforate anus in an adult

Adult presentation of a rectocutaneous fistula with imperforate anus is rare. We report the case of a 22-year-old man who presented with an anorectal malformation and a rectocutaneous fistula. The patient complained of faecal matter passing through the external orifis of a fistula located at the distal part of his scrotum. He was continent for solid faeces, but had leakage of flatus and faecal soiling. He had no other associated anomaly. The patient subsequently underwent a surgical procedure where anal transposition was done. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was fully continent at control examination.
