Can sacral development as a marker for caudal regression help identify associated urologic anomalies in patients with anorectal malformation?
2018, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :This can lead to TC in patients with sacral abnormalities. There are multiple references in the literature linking TC with sacral abnormalities [4,8,10,23–30]. Likewise, the presence of sacral defects and urological abnormalities in patients with and without ARM has also been related [4–6,8,19,31–36].
Spinal dysraphism with anorectal malformation: lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of 120 patients
2010, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In addition to the sacral bony abnormalities, evaluation of spinal dysraphism should include abnormalities of the spinal cord itself because so-called spinal cord tethering is associated with various orthopedic [8-10], urologic [8,11-13], and gastrointestinal problems [14,15]. In the present study, the prevalence of spinal dysraphism in patients with ARMs was 34.2%, and clinically significant spinal cord tethering requiring detethering surgery was 21.7%, consistent with previous studies [16-25]. More complex types of anorectal defects were associated with a higher prevalence of spinal dysraphism.
