[3][4][5]7 No caso de se optar por este tratamento, recomenda-se que apenas se realize após os dois anos de idade, quando já foi ultrapassado o potencial para resolução espontânea. 10 A importância do sulco perineal reside na necessidade dos clínicos estarem atentos para a existência desta entidade pouco descrita, uma vez que pode ser confundida com uma variedade de diagnósticos diferenciais.…”
