Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are common congenital anomalies in neonates. Colonic perforation is very rare in ARMs. Delay in diagnosis of neonate with ARM results in colonic perforations and life-threatening morbidity. Colonic perforation due to ARM may not be completely avoided; however, early diagnosis and management are essential in assuring better outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
