In the absence of a visible fistula, the diagnosis and classification of ARM require an augmented pressure distal colostogram. This procedure can be done after a diverting colostomy has been performed and implies exposing the child to radiation. We hypothesized that high-resolution transperineal ultrasound could correctly diagnose the type of ARM, thus sparing radiation exposure.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Case Description\u2003Four full-term male newborns with ARM and no visible anal opening were referred to our center for further management. A diverting descendostomy was performed in the first 48\u2009hours of life in all cases. Prior to the reconstructive surgery, we performed a high-resolution transperineal ultrasound with 3D tomographic reconstruction of the perineal region to assess the urethra, the rectum, and a possible fistula. Findings were compared with a conventional augmented pressure distal colostogram. The image acquisition was fast and did not cause any additional distress to the children.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003In all cases the results of the distal colostogram nicely correlated with the high-resolution transperineal ultrasound with 3D tomographic reconstruction. In the future, we envision a time when it can potentially replace the distal colostogram in preoperative assessment of ARM with no distress and exposure to radiation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1750027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,19]],"date-time":"2022-07-19T23:01:34Z","timestamp":1658271694000},"page":"e84-e88","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["High-Resolution Transperineal Ultrasound in Anorectal Malformations\u2014Can We Replace the Distal Colostogram?"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Francesca","family":"Palmisani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6614-9703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wilfried","family":"Krois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janina","family":"Patsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy, Medical University of Vienna, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Metzelder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Reck-Burneo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Wien, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1609020","article-title":"Anorectal malformations","volume":"31","author":"R J Wood","year":"2018","journal-title":"Clin Colon Rectal Surg"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1708","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2019.04.010","article-title":"A call to ARMs: accurate identification of the anatomy of the rectourethral fistula in anorectal malformations","volume":"54","author":"D R Halleran","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"899","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-013-3355-z","article-title":"Update on the management of anorectal malformations","volume":"29","author":"A Bischoff","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pediatr Surg Int"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1207","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2017.03.050","article-title":"The high pressure distal colostogram in anorectal malformations: technique and pitfalls","volume":"52","author":"W MA Abdalla","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"258","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-017-3962-2","article-title":"Augmented-pressure distal colostogram: the most important diagnostic tool for planning definitive surgical repair of anorectal malformations in boys","volume":"48","author":"S J Kraus","year":"2018","journal-title":"Pediatr Radiol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sempedsurg.2019.04.016","article-title":"Error traps and culture of safety in anorectal malformations","volume":"28","author":"A Bischoff","year":"2019","journal-title":"Semin Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1806","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2013.06.006","article-title":"The diagnostic value of MRI fistulogram and MRI distal colostogram in patients with anorectal malformations","volume":"48","author":"L Kavalcova","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1993","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2021.01.013","article-title":"Assessment of sacral ratio in patients with anorectal malformations: Can magnetic resonance imaging replace conventional radiograph?","volume":"56","author":"W Krois","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1066487","article-title":"The Currarino syndrome\u2013hereditary transmitted syndrome of anorectal, sacral and presacral anomalies.
