Imperforate Anus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a newborn does not have a normal anal opening, imperforate anus is identified, a congenital malformation of the digestive tract present from birth.
It is an alteration in which the anal opening is absent, closed, or located abnormally, which prevents the normal passage of stool.
How it is detected: It is usually identified during the newborn examination, upon observing the absence or abnormal position of the anus and the lack of a bowel movement in the first hours of life.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric surgeon is the one who evaluates and follows up on this condition, with support from the neonatologist and the pediatrician. When facing any finding in the newborn, the healthcare team will guide the family on the steps to follow.
