ABSTRACT

Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is a congenital malformation

of the large bowel in which the entire large bowel or segments

of varying lengths of the large bowel exhibit enormous

dilatations in the form of a pouch and communicate distally

through a fistula with the urogenital system. CPC is

associated with a high form of anorectal malformation with

large variations in the size of the dilatations of the affected

large bowel segment. Although not included in the Wing-

spread classification of aorectal malformations, CPC has been

recognized as a rare form of aorectal mlformation and has

been included in the Krickenbeck classification.1
