Abstract
Cloacal malformations are rare, complex inhibitional anomalies of earl y embryogenesis. We report a patient with a cloacal malformation in wh ich a septate vagina and a rectal fistula emptied through a common ori fice onto an ex-strophic bladder plate. Additional anomalies included an omphalocele and malformations of the upper urinary tract and the lo wer extremities, skeleton, and vertebral column.
