Background: Rectal atresia is a rare variant of anorectal malformation (ARM). Pouch colon is an abnormal dilation of the colon distally connected by the fistula. Pouch colon without fistula is extremely rare.
Case Presentation: We report a case of unusual association of rectal atresia with pouch colon without fistula in a female newborn. At surgery, a type IV pouch colon was found which was resected and colostomy was done as the initial procedure.
Conclusion: Rectal atresia with congenital pouch colon without genitourinary fistula in a female child is an extremely rare association.
