Popis: We present a case of a rare complication in a 10-month-old female referred to our institution for an anal stricture after primary cloacal repair as an infant. Multimodal imaging, careful physical exam, and endoscopic evaluation revealed her vagina had been pulled through to the location of her anal sphincter muscle complex. We describe the correction of this problem, including identification of her rectum.
