Abstract


This report describes two newborn girls with single perineal opening (cloaca), and pseudoexstrophy in the form of divergent pubic bones and rectus muscles, and a low-set umbilicus. Both patients had a type II congenital pouch colon (CPC) with one hemiuterus and vagina on each side in the pelvis. In one patient, a Meckel’s diverticulum was present 5 cm from the ileocecal junction. In both girls, a diverting proximal ileostomy was the initial surgery.
