“…Rectal atresia has a reported incidence of 0.3-1.2% of all anorectal malformations [ 14 ]. It shows marked male predominance with a male-to-female ratio of 7:3 [ 14 ]. Unlike other types of anorectal malformation, rectal atresia is characterized by normal anal position, well-developed pelvic structures, and functional external and internal sphincters [ 15 ].…”

“…Most rectal atresia cases have no associated fistula with the urogenital system [ 14 ]; however, some studies reported rectal atresia being associated with rectovestibular fistula [ 16 , 17 ]. Various notable medical disorders were discussed in the case series that were concurrent with rectal atresia, including sacral masses, double vagina and uterus, cardiac anomalies such as patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular septal defect, and congenital renal anomalies such as dysplastic kidney, ectopic kidney, and duplex ureters [ 18 , 19 ].…”

Rectal atresia is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in neonates with a normal-appearing anus. We present two different types of rectal atresia requiring different surgical management. Case one was a one-day-old term male with web-type rectal atresia diagnosed preoperatively with bedside obliteration of the web. Subsequent transanal web resection was performed. Case two was a one-day-old male born at 28 weeks weighing 980 g with significant cardiac defects including aortic atresia. The patient underwent initial colostomy creation and delayed rectal anastomosis via posterior sagittal anorectoplasty. We review the published literature, discuss the surgical strategy, and highlight the decision-making of diverting ostomy creation and approach of definitive anorectal anastomosis.
