Three cases of congenital malformation were
observed, including cases of anal imperforation at the Lubumbashi Surgery and
Traumatology Center in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These cases concerned
the anal imperforation observed in three new male babies from the ex-triangle
of death in the province of Upper Katanga (The Democratic Republic of The
Congo). One case presented dehydration in stage B. Colostomy was the first act
to save the three newborns. The colostomies were repaired after reopening the
anal orifice. No deaths were recorded.
