Abstract
- Perineal groove is an uncommon congenital malformation of the nonepithelialized perineal mucous membrane, usually affecting female patients. It is not well known to many clinicians, and thus can be missed or misdiagnosed. Anomalies that can accompany perineal groove include rectoperineal fistula, anorectal stenosis, anal ectopy, anomalies of the urinary tract, and hypospadias, though their incidences are rare. In this case, we report a case with a perineal groove along with a review on peri neal groove to enhance recognition of this congenital anomaly and avoid unnecessary procedures and interventions.
