Non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type is a rare congenital disorder in which the rectum and urethra are abnormally connected. This type of malformation is characterized by a fistula (abnormal connection) between the rectum and the urethra, located at the base of the penis. This type of malformation is also known as a rectourethral fistula, bulbar type. It is a non-syndromic disorder, meaning it is not associated with any other medical conditions.

The symptoms of Non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type include:

-Passage of urine and stool from the same opening (rectourethral fistula)
-Abnormal positioning of the anus and rectum
-Inability to control bowel movements
-Frequent urinary tract infections
-Abdominal swelling
-Pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen
-Difficulty passing stool
-Constipation
-Blood in the stool
-Foul-smelling discharge from the rectum

The exact cause of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some studies suggest that certain genetic mutations may be associated with this condition, while others suggest that environmental factors such as maternal smoking or certain medications taken during pregnancy may increase the risk.

1. Surgery: The primary treatment for non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type is surgical repair. The goal of the surgery is to create a normal connection between the rectum and the urethra, and to create a normal anal opening.

2. Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent or treat infection.

3. Bowel Management: Bowel management may be necessary to help the patient manage their bowel movements. This may include dietary changes, medications, and/or enemas.

4. Follow-up Care: Follow-up care is important to monitor the patient’s progress and to ensure that the repair is successful.

1. Genetic factors: Certain genetic syndromes, such as VACTERL association, have been associated with an increased risk of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type.

2. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental toxins, such as certain pesticides, has been linked to an increased risk of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type.

3. Maternal factors: Maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and diabetes have been associated with an increased risk of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type.

4. Fetal factors: Premature birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction have been

There is no cure for non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, bulbar type. Treatment typically involves surgical repair of the fistula and reconstruction of the rectum and urethra. Medications may be prescribed to help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition.
