Anorectal malformation associated with small and large bowel atresias: a rare association.

Abstract

Anorectal malformation (ARM) is one of frequent neonatal surgical problem managed in pediatric surgical units. Gastrointestinal malformations are associated in approximately 5% cases of ARM. Some of the common associations are oesophageal atresia and trachea oesophageal fistula, duodenal atresia, hirschsprung`s disease, pouch colon and neuronal intestinal dysplasia [1]. Association of ARM with either colonic atresia or jejuno-ileal atresia has rarely been reported in literature [2-5]. Here we report a case of ARM associated with both colonic and multiple jejuno-ileal atresias.
