Abstract
Persistent cloaca is a very rare congenital malformation with the incidence of 1/50,000-250,000 births. This malformations have a single common perineal opening for the genital, urinary and gastrointestinal tracts. Because of wide spectrum of abnormal anatomy involving upper urinary tract, gastrointestinal systems, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, and respiratory system, prenatal diagnosis is difficult through ultrasound during pregnancy. It has been reported that if the anomalies are diagnosed early, they can be corrected surgically. We present a case of persistent cloaca with meconium peritonitis and hydrometrocolpos confirmed by neonatal surgery after emergency cesarean section.
