Through complex nerve and muscle structures, the rectum releases stool through the anus out of the body. Infants with imperforate anus defect have malformations of the rectum and anus, in which abnormal development of these structures leads to growth of skin over the anus, and incomplete development of the rectum. As a result, these infants have either no anal opening through which stool can pass, or a very small fistulous opening (channel that connects skin to bowel) that allows only a small amount of stool to pass out of the rectum. Variations of the defect include: complete absence of an anal opening a small tube-like opening ( fistula ) from the bowel to the skin

38. Imperforate Anus imperforate anus is an abnormality of the anus and rectum that is present at birth. Another name for imperforate anus is anorectal anomaly. http://pediatric.um-surgery.org/new_070198/new/Library/Imperforate Anus.htm

Imperforate Anus Classification Imperforate Anus is an abnormality of the anus and rectum that is present at birth. The infant is born without a normal rectal opening. Another name for imperforate anus is "anorectal anomaly." In most cases the imperforate anus is obvious on the first day of life as the infant has no anal opening or, the rectal opening is abnormally placed. Occasionally infants are not diagnosed until several months of age. There is variation in the degree of abnormality of the rectum. It may vary from a low imperforte anus where the rectum may be in the normal location but is too tight to allow the infant to have a bowel movement; to an intermediate imperforate anus where the opening is too close to the urethra; to a high imperforate anus where the rectal opening is completely absent. The most common of these anomalies are depicted in Figure 1. Occurrence Anorectal malformations occur in one in 5,000 live births. There is no known cause. Anorectal malformations occur slightly more commonly in males. Males are twice as likely to have a high or intermediate anorectal abnormality. Normally, while the fetus is still developing, the intestine descends through the abdominal cavity to the rectal opening, ending at the rectal sphincter. This sphincter contains the nerves and muscles necessary to sense and control bowel movements. With an imperforate anus the intestine stops at some level before it reaches the rectum. This is referred to as an imperforate anus or an anorectal anomaly.
