    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Persistent cloaca is a rare congenital anomaly where the rectum, vagina, and urinary tract terminate in a single common channel.
    • Accessory phallic urethra, a rare finding, can occur in association with cloacal malformations.

    Observation:

    • This report describes a unique variant of persistent cloaca in a female newborn.
    • The cloaca presented with rectal, vaginal, and bladder neck openings.
    • The proximal origin of an accessory phallic urethra was identified within the cloaca.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights a rare anatomical variant of persistent cloaca with an associated accessory phallic urethra.
    • This specific presentation offers new insights into the spectrum of cloacal malformations.

    Implications:

    • Understanding such rare variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning in complex genitourinary and anorectal malformations.
    • This case contributes to the existing literature, aiding future research and clinical management of newborns with persistent cloaca.
