Abstract Background Anorectal malformations associated with colonic duplications are a rare condition. Double terminations of tubular duplication in the perineum even rarer. Colonic may have different presentations according to its location and size incidence less than 15% all gastrointestinal duplications. We hereby report three such cases recto-vestibular fistula along underlying colorectal o...

Objective: Divided colostomy for anorectal management is often recommended due to reports of higher complications associated with loop colostomy. This study was conducted compare outcomes and in colostomies children malformations according type level colostomy.
 Materials Methods: A retrospective performed who underwent a at Siriraj Hospital between December 2003 June 2018.
 Results: ...

The case history of a man with primary syphilis of the right hand is described. This type of luetic condition nowadays is rare. The incidence of genital, anorectal, and extragenital primary syphilis in both men and women and in sailors presenting at the Venereological Outpatient Clinic of the Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital Rotterdam-Dijkzigt during a period of seven years ...

Delayed diagnosis of anorectal malformation (ARM) is an avoidable event associated with significant complications and morbidity. Previous studies have suggested higher than expected rates of delayed diagnosis, especially when a threshold of 24 hours of life is used to define delayed diagnosis. The aim of this study is to highlight the prevalence of delayed diagnosis of ARM in Ireland and to det...

The aim of this report is to present a technical detail of use in the management of an anorectal malformation (ARM). A boy with ARM and a fistula to the urethra was operated on with a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP). Before the PSARP operation, a videoendoscopy was performed through the distal stoma down to the distal end of the rectum. The rectourethral fistula was identified and a g...

BACKGROUND Colostomy is a common procedure performed in children, mostly for anorectal malformation and Hirschsprung's disease. However, acceptance by parents in developing countries is thought to be poor. METHODS A prospective evaluation was done to determine the acceptability of colostomy among parents and caregivers, and their attitude towards colostomy in their children. RESULTS During ...

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) of all (high and low) forms concern about 1/5000 births. Low form is difficult to diagnose prenatally. Isolated forms are rare; they are often present in the context of multiple malformation syndromes. From a rare case of prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound findings will be discussed as well as the role of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D) nuclear magnetic resonan...

Mid1 protein (green) was transiently overexpressed as a green fluorescent fusion protein in Cos-1 cells. It co-localises (yellow) with the microtubule network (red) of the cell. In this case, the overexpression of Mid1 protein seems to be inducing early signs of apoptosis as the nucleus (blue) is beginning to break down. Mutations in the Mid1 gene are responsible for the X-linked form of the Op...

Congenital pouch colon (CPC) or short colon syndrome is a rare type of anorectal malformation(ARM). Type V is the rarest form of CPC. We present a 1-day-old male child with type V CPC with prune belly syndrome and congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula (CAUF).

Transperineal exposure of the high portion of the vagina is limited. These limitations can be circumvented using ASTRA (anterior sagittal transrectal approach). We report the use of this surgical strategy for the treatment of a case of acquired vaginal atresia after posterior anorectoplasty due to anorectal malformation.
