Description
Summary:Congenital H-type fistula is a rare congenital rectourogenital anomaly and is less common in males than in females. A one-year-and-eight-month-old boy with an ectopic perineal fistula was incidentally diagnosed with H-type fistula when he underwent voiding cystourethrography for vesicoureteral reflux. Further examination revealed that the H-type fistula was an ano-bulbar urethral fistula. At two years of age, the patient underwent fistulectomy and also anterior sagittal anorectoplasty for the ectopic perineal fistula during the same surgery.
