Persistent Cloaca Perineum
In this abnormality in females, all three structures (urinary tract, vagina, and rectum) all meet in a common channel as in the early developing cloaca.
The presence of a single perineal orifice is clinical evidence of a patient with persistent cloaca. A common error in diagnosis occurs during the perineal inspection, when a female is thought to have "imperforate anus with rectovaginal fistula".
