URINARY TRACT ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH ANORECTAL MALFORMATIONS

Alimentary Tract Atresias associated with Anorectal Malformations: 10 Years' Experience

Anorectal malformation (ARM) is one of the most common congenital anomaly that requires emergency surgery in the neonatal period. ARMs are frequently associated with other life threatening congenital anomalies. Commonly associated anomalies are genito-urinary, cardiovascular, gastro-intestinal, skeletal and spinal. Alimentary tract anomalies are frequently masked by the intestinal obstruction p...

Anorectal malformations with sacral bony abnormalities.

A range of anorectal malformations with sacral bony abnormalities was found in members from three generations of two kindreds. The anorectal anomaly was low in all but one of the patients. Partial sacral agenesis was the main bony defect in one family, and meningomyelocele and spina bifida occulta were noted in the second. The inheritance pattern in these kinships is autosomal dominant. This ma...

Anomalies associated with anorectal malformations.

BACKGROUND The purpose of the paper is to review the incidence of associated congenital anomalies that are encountered in patients presenting anorectal malformations and compare these results with those previously published. MATERIAL AND METHODS A number of 50 cases with ARM from our institution were reviewed (from 2005 to 2012) and information was collected on patient demographics, type of A...

urogenital and other associated anomalies in patients with anorectal malformations

Dilemmas associated with antenatally detected urinary tract abnormalities.

Over a five year period 55 fetuses had abnormalities of the urinary tract detected by antenatal ultrasound scan. The incidence was 1:935 total births during a one year prospective study. Intrauterine intervention was undertaken in five for suspected obstructive uropathy, which was confirmed in only two. Of 51 live born infants, five died (two with renal failure), and only 18 (35%) had a clinica...
