What Is The Another Hole Above Anus In An Infant?

Hi. My friend has an 8 week old baby and after a routine check up, the doctor found another hole, above his anus. My friend was asked questions about spinal problems within the family but she is still worried and I wondered if you had any other answers. Sally

hi, another hole above anus is not normal in a child. It can occur in spinal or meningioma. an MRI of spine should be done. Review with reports. Take care.
