    N-type anorectal malformations are a rare entity. This study details three cases, suggesting distinct presentations in males and females and advocating for their inclusion in anomaly classifications.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Developmental Biology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Anorectal malformations (ARMs) represent a spectrum of congenital anomalies.
    • N-type ARMs are a rare subtype, characterized by specific fistula types.
    • Understanding the variations and associated anomalies is crucial for appropriate management.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of N-type ARMs were analyzed: two females with anorectal-vestibular fistulas and one male with an anorectal-urethral fistula.
    • Female cases presented typically, aligning with literature findings.
    • The male case represented a milder variant, notably lacking common associated anomalies like esophageal, renal, or skeletal issues.

    Findings:

    • N-type ARMs exhibit sex-based differences in presentation and associated anomalies.

  • Boys with N-type ARMs may experience a more severe teratogenic insult, indicated by the constellation of anomalies.
  • Surgical approaches vary, with anterior perineal resection suitable for females and some males, while urethroplasty is needed for males with anterior urethral hypoplasia.
  • Implications:

    • N-type anorectal malformations are a distinct, albeit rare, clinical entity.
    • Recognition and classification of N-type ARMs are essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
    • Further research into the etiology and precise classification of these anomalies is warranted.
