Conservative management of rectovestibular fistula in a pregnant woman

چکیده
Rectovestibular fistula is a rare variant of anorectal malformations. Such malformations are commonly operated in newborn period or puberty. So it is so uncommon to coincide with uncorrected rectovestibular fistula in women of reproductive ages. Herein, we report a case of multigravida pregnant woman with uncorrected rectovestibular fistula. The patient’s first pregnancy ended up by cesarean section at the second stage of labor after the realization of anorectal malformation. Despite the improvements in anorectal malformation managements, the patient survived without any reconstructive surgery and underwent successful pregnancy intervals in her first and present pregnancies.
