An anal membrane is categorized as a low anorectal malformation and is noted under rare malformations in the International classification. It is very rare and may present variedly in different age groups and only a handful of cases have been ever described. It is one of the few anorectal malformations in which the anal canal is at a normal position, thus concealing itself from an attendant who is not suspicious. We present two cases of anal membrane. A newborn girl presenting at birth was treated by primary excision of the membranes. The second case was a 2 year boy with chronic constipation with an obstructive web of a persistent ruptured anal membrane. Both were short procedures with almost no morbidity. Both the cases would have been diagnosed earlier if the primary attendant had done a rectal examination. There was good post-operative outcome in terms of continence and constipation in both the cases. Neither of them needed any anal dilatations. Anal membrane is a rare low anorectal malformation which needs keen suspicion for diagnosis. It is easy to miss it if the attendant omits a rectal examination. Therefore, it is imperative to do a rectal examination of all neonates with non-passage of meconium and as well as children with chronic constipation.

Currently, the problem of early rehabilitation of stroke patients is important, since in terms of the prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases and disability after suffering a stroke, Russia is one of the first places in the world. The complex of medical rehabilitation of such patients should provide for the early and most complete restoration of all body functions, patient education for lost skills, re-socialization of the patient and improvement of the quality of life. One of the factors contributing to a significant reduction in the quality of life after a stroke is the development of chronic constipation. The article reflects the modern methods of correction of chronic constipation in patients with limited mobility.
