A 7-day old female patient was referred by her neonatologist with a suspicion of a congenital anal fissure. During examination we found a perineal groove. She was born to a 26-year-old gravida 1 para 1 woman who did not take folic acid during her pregnancy. The patient was not noted to have any other associated anomalies during her exam.\nShe was followed up regularly for 2 years, and it was noted that the perineal groove spontaneously resolved.
A 6-month-old female was referred to the clinic by her pediatrician due to abnormal findings in the genitalia.\nA perineal groove was found during examination. She was born to a 31-year-old woman gravida 3 para 2 who had not taken folic acid during her pregnancy.\nThe patient had been observed for 6 months. The perineal groove has not yet been resolved; the patient remains under observation, though there is no plan for surgery at this point.
