Abstract

Nine days later she was diagnosed with an anovaginal fistula. A diverting sigmoideostomy was performed, and spontaneous healing was awaited. Rectovaginal fistula without concomitant anal sphincter injury as a result of consensual penile anal intercourse is an extremely rare occurrence, described only once previously.
