Never heard of it. You or the baby? Good luck either way! Hope that it gets fixed - easily.
No, sorry. I sure hope everything works out ok.

I have heard of anal stenosis, that it causes long term constipation issues but that is it.

Is that you or the baby? My friend had anal stenosis (I think it was result of removing her hemmis but not sure). She had a surgery and it was a success. I am so sorry you are dealing with this (whether it is you or the baby girl).
Yes i had my baby girl #3! And yes this is for her

Let me PM you. I talked to my cousin who is an OB nurse but I think this deserves a PM.
I've seen it. Twice in 18 years. Wouldn't call it common, and would definitely get another opinion for anything "major" in an infant. That said, it is totally fixable if it is real, and she will be fine and beautiful and this is a little roadbump in a long healthy life.
Congrats on your new daughter!
I haven't had experience with it before but wanted to say I hope she doesn't have to have surgery -
sorry , I have never heard of it. hope you can get some more answers and help, thinking of you and sweet baby girl.
Thx again for the responses. I am starting to think common is different here because this is a university hospital. People come here for their specialists especially pediatrics and nicu.So i dont think its common everywhere but maybe to these people it is?

Yes, this. And I agree. You could be right that since they are specialists, their view is a little skewed of how "common" a certain condition might be when they end up with all the referrals to treat it.No experience but HUGE HUGS!!!!

Working at a University Hospital, I can tell you that I see a dozen people a year with various rare conditions that say their personal doctors never even heard of before they came to us. And because I've been there for 15 years, I've now seen a hundred. I still know that they're rare, though. You could probably get approximate numbers of how common it is. Maybe they see it enough that it does seem relatively common. If they have seen it before, that is more reassuring, certainly, than someone with no experience.
I actually do not have experience, but I do know it happens. Huge hugs to you!
Oh, and I love your baby girl's name! That was one of my top picks.
Our baby is 3 years old already!
I looked it up at work as I had never heard of it but I did also see the words common in the description. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14745628
