Background: In children with high and intermediate anorectal malformation, distal
colostography is an important investigation done to determine the relationship between the …

Background Radiological imaging is paramount for defining the genitourinary fistulae
commonly associated with anorectal malformations prior to definitive surgery. The imaging …

We read with interest the article by Y. Zhan, J. Wang and W. Guo “Comparative Effectiveness
of Imaging Modalities for Preoperative Assessment of Anorectal Malformation in the …

INTRODUCTION: Imaging in anorectal malformations (ARM) has evolved over the years to
include ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. However the pressure colostogram …

Background: Accurate imaging of rectourethral fistula is essential for optimal surgical
management of infants with high-type anorectal malformation (ARM). The aim of this study …

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness, reliability and sensitivity of invertography, perineal
ultrasonography (US) and augmented-pressure distal colostography (APDC) in the …

Background Surgical safety during posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP) for anorectal
malformations (ARM) depends on accurate pre-operative fistula localization. This study …

Objective To compare MRI and colostography/fistulography in neonates with anorectal
malformations (ARM), using surgery as reference standard. Methods Thirty-three neonates …

There is little current literature on the augmented-pressure distal colostogram, the single
most important diagnostic study performed in boys with imperforate anus prior to definitive …

Objectives: To determine the accuracy of two main radiologic tools currently employed in the
clinical management of anorectal malformations, the invertogram and the distal colostogram …
