A Case of Imperforate Cloacal Membrane Diagnosed by Autopsy

Abstract

Cloacal anomalies are very rare congenital malformations with the incidence of 1/50,000~250,000 births. Because of wide spectrum of abnormal anatomy involving urogenital and gastrointestinal systems, prenatal diagnosis is difficult. We present a case of cloacal anomaly which was initially presented as a fetal growing abdominal cyst. The cyst was spontaneously ruptured, and diagnosed as imperforate cloacal membrane at autopsy after preterm delivery.
