Congenital Pouch Colon in a Neonate.

Congenital Pouch Colon (CPC) is a rare anorectal malformation (ARM) in which a part of or the entire colon is replaced by pouch-like dilatation. Males are more likely to be diagnosed with the condition compared to females. The highest incidence of the disease is in South Asia, with a significant number of cases reported from India. Early diagnosis can be made when there are hypoechogenic lesions on antenatal ultrasound scans. We report a case of a neonate with routine antenatal scans who presented with a distended abdomen and inability to pass feces. The diagnosis was made in the early neonatal period, followed by surgical management.
