Congenital pouch colon (CPC) is a rare variant of anorectal malformation. In male patients, CPC communicates distally with the urogenital tract by a large fistula. The CPC cases which do not fulfill the criteria as mentioned in the classical description are reported along with the pertinent literature review.
