Abstract
Persistent cloaca is characterized by a common vestibule connected to the bladder, uterus, and rectum and a single perineal orifice to the exterior. Treatment can involve vaginal reconstruction with sigmoid/descending colon. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl who, as an infant, underwent vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon for persistent cloaca and developed a fulminant colitis that also affected the colonic neovagina 2 years after her reconstruction.
