    Hyperchloremic acidosis is a common complication of enterourinary fistulas due to electrolyte absorption. In imperforate anus cases with rectourinary fistulas, specific factors contribute to this acidosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Pediatric Urology
    • Pediatric Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Enterourinary fistulas can lead to electrolyte imbalances, primarily hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.
    • Imperforate anus, a congenital anomaly, can be associated with rectourinary fistulas, creating a potential pathway for urinary electrolyte reabsorption.

    Observation:

    • This study presents an additional case of hyperchloremic acidosis in a patient with imperforate anus and a rectourinary fistula.
    • A review of the literature identified five previous cases with this specific complication.

    Findings:

    • Key factors contributing to hyperchloremic acidosis in imperforate anus with rectourinary fistula include the fistula itself, a diverting colostomy, distal urinary obstruction, and urinary tract infections.
    • The mechanism involves absorption of urinary electrolytes across the colonic mucosa.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for patients with imperforate anus and rectourinary fistulas.
    • Treatment strategies should focus on electrolyte correction, reducing urinary reflux into the colon via catheterization, and surgical repair of the fistula.
