Of 253 infants with oesophageal atresia treated over an eight year period, 122 (48%) had a total of 213 other anomalies. Most commonly affected were the cardiovascular (61 cases, 29%), anorectal (30 cases, 14%), and genitourinary (29 cases, 14%) systems. The VATER (or VACTERL) association was present in 10% of cases, but occurred more often in patients who had oesophageal atresia without an ass...

Introduction: Anorectal Malformations (ARMs) are the second most common paediatric surgical emergencies with management strategy is restoration of near normal anatomy and physiology which require accurate proper imaging diagnosis. Aim: To evaluate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings its comparison Distal Colostogram (DC) against in anorectal malformation patients. Materials Methods: A coh...

We report a case of prenatally diagnosed congenital perineal mass which was combined with anorectal malformation. The mass was successfully treated with posterior sagittal anorectoplasty postnatally. On ultrasound examination at a gestational age of 23 weeks the fetal perineal mass were found on the right side. Any other defects were not visible on ultrasonography during whole gestation. Amnioc...

Objective Describe a case of cloaca prenatally diagnosed in one of a set of monoamniotic twins. Study Design Retrospective review of a case. Results Cloaca is one of the most complex and severe degrees of anorectal malformations in girls. We present a discordant cloaca in monoamniotic twins. Fetal ultrasound showed a female fetus with a pelvic midline cystic mass, a phallus-like structure, a pr...

dichorionic triamniotic pregnancy. A caesarean section was performed at 34 weeks of gestation. The Apgar score was 9/10, weight 2425 g and physical examination revealed a congenital malformation in the perianal region with 13.8 mm of greater axis, spherical pedunculated and soft, with a cylindrical 5 mm form attached, similar to an accessory penis and scrotum (figure 1). The neonate underwent a...

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 ...

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.
