Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of anus with fistula - what does this mean

Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of anus with fistula is a rare, congenital disorder caused by abnormal development of the rectum and anus during fetal development. it is characterized by the absence of the rectum, atresia (narrowing) of the anus, and a fistula (abnormal connection) between the rectum and the skin. this condition is often associated with other congenital malformations and can lead to serious complications if not treated properly.

What happens during the disease - congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of anus with fistula

Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of anus with fistula is a rare disorder that is caused by a complex combination of genetic and environmental factors. it is thought to be caused by either a disruption in the normal development of the anal canal or a failure of the anal sphincter muscles to form properly in utero. this can lead to an abnormal opening in the perineum, which can then lead to an abnormal connection between the rectum and the skin, known as a fistula. in addition, the absence or malformation of the anal sphincter can lead to difficulty controlling the release of stool and flatulence, as well as constipation.
