ABSTRACT
A newborn baby boy, born by spontaneous vaginal delivery at 40 weeks of gestation to a healthy 23-year-old, G1P1 woman, is transferred to your NICU at a few hours of life for imperforate anus identified on routine neonatal examination. Apgar scores were 9 and 10 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Fetal ultrasounds performed at 20 and 32 weeks of gestation were normal. The pregnancy and delivery were uncomplicated.
