Case presentation reveals effective surgical intervention for perineal groove in a young female, highlighting the rarity of this condition.
The perineal groove is a rare anomaly of the anogenital region in females, unfamiliar to many clinicians. It is characterized by a wet strip running vertically between the anterior edge of the anal orifice and posterior fourchette. Due to the rarity of its occurrence, it is often misdiagnosed and mismanaged. We report a case of a 2-year-old female child with perineal groove who underwent surgery with an excellent cosmetic outcome and preserved continence.
