Perineal Groove in a Neonate With Increased Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein

Abstract

Perineal groove is a likely underreported congenital defect that usually occurs in females, characterized by the presence of a sulcus coursing between the genitalia and the anus. We present the case of a neonate with this defect and discuss its clinical implications and relationship to the mother’s sequential screen.
