Watercolour drawing showing of the external organs of generation of a woman who had a congenitally imperforate anus with a recto-vaginal fistula. The rectum is enormously distended, but its wall are not unduly thickened. The lumen of the fistula barely admitted the passage of the glass rod which has been passed through from the bowel into the vagina.
