Abstract:

Congenital Pouch Colon (CPC) is an unusual, rare abnormality in which a pouch-like dilatation of colon might be associated with an anorectal malformation. The pouch has different structural histological and functional characteristics in comparison with a normal colon. It has been classified into various forms based on the length of the involved colon. The curative management might vary from single surgical procedure to three stage surgical correction. In the current case report, we are going to present a 16-hour old, male neonate with type II CPC accompanied with colovesical fistula.
