“…Genital anomalies in males and females were 25% and 64% respectively. The vertebral, spinal, urinary and male genital anomalies in our study showed similar incidence to studies reported in literature using traditional methods (Table 6) [13,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, the incidence of genital anomalies in females ARM patients in literature ranges from 16 to 45% with the anomalies predominating in external genitalia and genital tracts, whereas our study revealed higher incidence genital anomalies in 64% female cases.…”

“…In the present study, 19 out of the 26 cases (73.1%) having associated anomalies involving the vertebrae, spinal cord, urologic and/or genital systems. Most of the previous studies done using traditional imaging methods, the reported incidence of associated anomalies with ARM was from 30% to 70% (Table 5) [13,[22][23][24][25]. Even after studying associated anomalies in only the above mentioned four systems, our study reported higher incidence of associated anomalies compared to the previous studies.…”

“…Some of these anomalies may be life threatening or may have a greater impact than the ARM itself on the quality of survival of the child. It is imperative, therefore, that these are identified prior to undertaking surgery to treat the ARM [11][12][13]. For patients with ARMs, post-operative continence depends on the grade of development of sphincter muscle complex (SMC).…”

Background: MRI has not been traditionally used as an imaging modality for preoperative evaluation of ARM. It has been reserved for complicated ARM cases and Imaging in post-operative period. Aims: To study the role of MRI in preoperative evaluation of ARM patients, whether it be used as a single preoperative imaging investigation in ARM and what added advantage does it give to conventional imaging techniques. Settings and Design: Hospital based observational study was conducted over a period of 1 year which included 26 ARM patients who required preoperative imaging which was done using MRI.

“…12 Although complex congenital cardiac anomalies (CCAs) are obvious from the presence of cyanosis or signs of heart failure, the exact diagnosis of these lesions and of the minor ones can only be made by proper echocardiographic evaluation. 13 The incidence and type of cardiac anomalies associated with IA have not been reported or available in Saudi Arabia; so, we aimed in our study to determine the incidence and type of associated CCAs in newborns with IA, the outcome of surgical reconstruction of the anorectum in our center, and the need for performing echocardiography in all patients with IA.…”

a b s t r a c tObjectives: We aimed in our study to determine the incidence and type of congenital cardiac anomaly (CCA) in newborns associated with imperforate anus (IA), the outcome of surgical reconstruction of the anorectum in our center, and the need for performing echocardiography in all patients with IA. Materials and methods: The preoperative echocardiography reports of all cases born with IA and managed at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia over a period of 11 years (Jan 2000eDec 2010) were reviewed. The average annual delivery rate of this hospital is 5500. Results: During the study period, 61 patients of IA were diagnosed that showed an incidence of about 1 per 992 live births, and the rate of CCA among the IA subjects was 15 (24.6%). In 12 patients (19.6%), the associated CCAs were of a mild nature, and reconstruction of the anorectum went smoothly. Three patients (4.9%) had significant CCA and died. Conclusion: The incidence of IA in our hospital is 1 per 992 live births, and its association with CCA is 24.6%. The majority of CCAs associated with IA were of the mild type.
