Anorectal malformation with a rectal-urethral-scrotal fistula is rare. There is only one other case series that describe diagnosis and management of this disease. Cases: This case series details presentation, diagnosis and management of two cases of this anomaly. After diversion, fluoroscopic studies were required to accurately assess the fistulous tract from the scrotum to the urethra and the rectum. Once the diagnosis was made, formal PSARP was performed and the colostomy was reversed thereafter. Aside from constipation, both patients have done well. Conclusion: These cases highlight the importance of high suspicion for this type of unusual anorectal malformation when male patients present with scrotal fistula.
