Benivenius, Borellus, the Ephemerides, Tulpius, Zacutus
Lusitanus, and others speak of excrement passing through the
penis; and there are many cases of vaginal anus recorded. Langlet
cites an instance in which the intestine terminated in the
bladder. Arand mentions recovery after atresia of the anus with
passage of excrement from the vulva. Bartholinus, the
Ephemerides, Fothergill, de la Croix, Riedlin, Weber, and Zacutus
Lusitanus mention instances in which gas was passed by the penis
and urethra. Camper records such a case from ulcer of the
neighboring or connecting intestine; Frank, from cohesion and
suppuration of the rectum; Marcellus Donatus, from penetrating
ulcer of the rectum; and Petit, from communication of the rectum
and bladder in which a cure was effected by the continued use of
the catheter for the evacuation of urine.
Flatus through the vagina, vulva, and from the uterus is
mentioned by Bartholinus, the Ephemerides, Meckel, Mauriceau,
Paullini, Riedlin, Trnka, and many others in the older
literature. Dickinson mentions a Burmese male child, four years
old, who had an imperforate anus and urethra, but who passed
feces and urine successfully through an opening at the base of
the glans penis.
