- Abstract
Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is an unusual abnormality associating a pouch-like dilatation of a shortened colon with an anorectal malformation (ARM). There are few reports of CPC in Europe, a contrario it represents up to 15% of ARM in India. Coloplasty and excision are described in the surgical management. This report describes a new case of CPC. This is the first reported case with a prenatal clinical presentation as an hypoechogenic abdominal image at ultrasound and a video-assisted management.
