“…There have been reports of Y-shaped duplication of the normal colon just proximal to the pouch. [6] There is also a report of CPC associated with an ileovesical and a colovesical fistula [7], CPC with rectal atresia [8,9], and CPC with double colovesical fistulae [6]; have also been reported. But the association of CPC with colonic atresia is unknown and to the best of our knowledge, the index case is the first to be reported.…”

Background: Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is a rare variant of high anorectal malformation. More and more varied associations of CPC with other entities are being added to the literature. Case presentation: A 1-day-old male baby presented to the emergency room with marked abdominal distension and absent anal opening. On exploration, the baby was found to have CPC (Type 2) with colonic atresia. This association has not been reported in English literature. Conclusion: This is a report of a case of type 2 CPC with colonic atresia. To the best of our knowledge, such an association has not been reported so far. The final embryological outcome is dictated both by the topography and timing of vascular insult.
