Abstract

patients: urogenital (43.1%), cardiovascular (41.4%), sacrospinal (13.8%), limb (10.3%), and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF; 6.9%) anomaly. Urogenital anomalies were more common than other anomalies among patients with high ARM (25 patients). ARM-associated urologic anomalies were found in 16 of 25 (64%) patients, and hydronephrosis was the most common (62%) urologic anomaly. Genital anomalies were detected in 9 of the 25 (36%) patients, and undescended testes (37.5%) and hypospadias (37.5%) were the most common genital anomalies. Detailed evaluation of associated anomalies, “VACTERl workup,” in the neonatal period is essential for newborns with ARM.
