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...

Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) is characterized by a group of heterogeneous anomalies involving the distal spinal cord and vertebral column, genitourinary system, hind gut and limbs. The malformation may range from minor anomalies of spine and spinal cord to the extreme, the sirenomelia. Various authors pointed out an overlap of spectrum of anomalies in CRS and VACTERL (vertebral, anorectal, ...

Forty-six cases of anorectal malformations (ARM) were seen over a period of 28 months in the elective paediatric surgical service of the two teaching hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe, of whom 20 (43,5%) were males and 26 (56,5%) were females. Twenty-two (47,8%) of the cases had a 'high' anomaly while 21 (45m7/5) had a 'low' anomaly, and the remaining 3 cases (6,5%) had a 'cloaca' malformation. Twe...

Oesophageal atresia (OA) with tracheo‐oesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare congenital anomaly usually seen in association with the VACTERL spectrum of disorders in neonates.[1] Management of these groups of anomalies is generally an early surgical intervention in most cases. Majority of neonates are managed with a palliative procedure until fit for a definitive surgery.[2] Isolated case reports ...

neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von recklinghausen disease, is an autosomal dominant disorder with an incidence of 1 per 4000. neurofibromas are benign, heterogeneous tumors arising from the connective tissue of peripheral nerve sheaths, especially the endoneurium. visceral involvement in disseminated neurofibromatosis is rare. neurofibroma occurs most frequently in the stomach and jeju...
