Patients with anorectal malformation and upper limb anomalies: genetic evaluation is warranted

Urogenital anomalies associated with anorectal malformation

Background: The objective of the paper is to review the incidence and types of associated urogenital anomalies (U.G.A.) we encountered in patients with anorectal malformations (A.R.M.) and compare the results with previously published world literature. Materials and Methods: Retrospective review was done of 220 cases of A.R.M., treated from May 2002 to April 2003. All patients routinely underwe...

Anorectal malformation: familial aspects and associated anomalies.

One hundred and sixty nine patients with anorectal malformation were studied: there were 108 boys, 60 girls, and one case of intersex. Low malformations were more common in both sexes. Over half the subjects had associated malformations. These were more common in the group with high malformations. There was no difference between the sexes in this respect. A family history of similar malformatio...

Manometric evaluation of postoperative patients with anorectal anomalies.

AIM To evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment in patients with anorectal malformations and to correlate the clinical, manometric and electromyographic studies in assessment of postoperative continence in these patients. METHODS Forty-one patients operated on for anorectal malformations were evaluated retrospectively. These included 13 patients with low anomalies, 24 with high anomalies, a...
