[Validity of simple X-ray-techniques in misdiagnosed anorectal malformations (author's transl)].
One particular form of an anorectal malformation--the anterior perineal anus--is frequently overlooked in the neonate period because defecation is easy at this age. However, with the change of diet, this malformation as a rule leads to chronic constipation. The lateral view at the beginning of an irrigoscopy usually shows a characteristic picture of a horizontal caudal limitation of the rectum, a dorsal pouch, a beakshaped fistula and an elevation of the anorectal transition. These findings contribute essentially to the clinical diagnosis and permit early operation.
