< b>Imperforate anus: A congenital malformation (a birth defect) in which
the rectum is a blind alley (a cul-de-sac) and there is no anus.
The anus is imperforate in the sense that the normal perforation we call the
anus is absent. The end of the intestinal tract has not made its way through the
skin in the perineal area.
Imperforate anus occurs in 1 in about 5,000 newborn babies. It has to be corrected
by surgery.
