Diagnosis of an anorectal malformation |
Explanatory chapterāhow to make the correct anatomic diagnosis
ā¢Establishing the diagnosis/type of anorectal malformation (ARM) that the infant has is the most important first step when managing a child, after initial resuscitation and basic care.
ā¢Without a clear understanding of the defect, it is impossible to make informed decisions with regards to the ongoing needs of the child.
Male ARM
The male ARM patient can have:
ā¢Perineal fistula
ā¢Rectourethral fistula
ā¢Bulbar, prostatic, bladder neck which correspond to levels of the fistula to the urinary tract
ā¢Recto-bladder fistula (bladder dome)
ā¢No fistula
ā¢Anal or rectal stenosis
ā¢Rectal atresia
ā¢Cloacal exstrophy
The diagnosis can be made on simple clinical examination in the majority of cases. The more complex malformations will require further investigations before one can identify the type of ARM the male infant has.
Perineal fistula
ā¢The rectum is seen to form a fistulous tract to the perineum, anterior to the anal dimple.
ā¢There is no communication with the urinary tract.
ā¢The anterior rectum abuts the posterior urethra.
ā¢Meconium (or mucous beads) will be seen on the perineum.
ā¢Meconium is seen to be running along a fistulous tract along the midline raphe of the scrotum.
ā¢The fistulous tract starts anterior to where the positioned anus should be.
