What happens during the disease - ectopic anus
Ectopic anus is a rare congenital disorder in which the anus is located in an abnormal location, such as the skin of the lower back or the perineum. this is caused by a failure of the cloacal membrane to break down during embryonic development, resulting in the anus being formed in an abnormal location. this can lead to obstruction of the rectal and anal muscles, leading to difficulty in passing stool.
