%X <strong>Introduction: </strong>Anorectal malformations concern all anomalies of the terminal part of the digestive tract often diagnosed in the perinatal period. We report a clinical case of anorectal malformation discovered incidentally and very late at 70 years, following complications from the infectious syndrome. <strong>Observation:</strong> 70-year-old female patient, housewife, uneducated was referred to the hospital for acute febrile, cough, and mental confusion associated with chronic pelvic pain. The genito-anal examination showed an anal imperforation associated with a recto-vaginal fistula complicated by cervico-vaginitis. The evolution during hospitalization was favorable, but the patient died at home, 3 weeks after discharge. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The discovery of anorectal malformation in adults is rare and exceptional in an elderly subject. This case demonstrates once again the challenges encountered in developing countries on the socio-economic and health levels.
