Abstract

We present the case of a 3-year-old female preschooler with a perineal groove or perineal grovee, a low anorectal malformation (ARM), characterized by a perineal groove that communicates the vulvar fork with the anal region. It is necessary to know this MAR because it can be confused with sexual aggression, with all the consequences that this implies, as well as inappropriate evaluations and approaches.
