Popis: The malformation, perineal canal, is a rare condition accounting for the 4% of all anorectal malformations. We report a 15 months old female that presented passage of feces per vagina during a diarrheal disease. Former physical exam did not show any fistulous opening, another exam under sedation and radiological study with barium leaded to the diagnose of perineal canal. The fistula was excised without preceding colostomy. After surgery the patient did well without complications. Several diagnostic techniques and surgical approaches are analyzed. The authors believe that the surgical procedure used in this patient have had good outcome and the advantage of no needing of preceding colostomy.
