Abstract

The urorectal septum malformation sequence is a rare malformation involving various organ systems, mainly gastrointestinal and genitourinary. Most of the malformations are difficult to be diagnosed by ultrasound antenatally but are easily diagnosed postnatally either soon after birth or within first year of life. We are presenting a unique case of urorectal malformation, which has survived till adulthood without any complications.
