the risk of spinal cord anomalies (SCA) in patients with anorectal malformations (ARM), the …

Aim: To evaluate the correlation between sacral/vertebral anomalies and spinal cord
anomalies (SCA) on MRI, in patients with anorectal malformation (ARM). Methods: Patients …

Purpose First, to assess the number of spinal cord anomalies (SCA), specifically tethered
spinal cord (TSC) in patients with anorectal malformations (ARM), identified with spinal cord …

Background The association between spinal cord anomalies and imperforate anus is well
recognized. Until now, the incidence of tethered cord has been assumed to be higher in …

(TSC) in anorectal malformation (ARM) patients. Material and Methods A retrospective case …

Anorectal malformations (ARM) are commonly associated with maldevelopment of
neighbouring structures derived from the caudal cell mass. Bony spinal anomalies and …

RESUlTS Out of 101 (16.8%) ARM patients, 17 had LLC, of which 12 (70.6%) were high
ARMs. 12 of the 17 (70.6%) patients had abnormal US and MR imaging findings. Five …

Background: It has recently been recognized that there is a close relationship between
spinal cord tethering (SCT) and congenital anorectal malformation (ARM). Patients and …
