title: [Effect of magnetic resonance tomography on therapy planning in incontinence after anal atresia].
abstract: Five healthy children and 16 children, ages 6-17 years, who had been operated on for anorectal atresia underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the pelvis. The development of sphincter muscles and the location of the pulled-through intestine in relation to the sphincter muscles were evaluated by a muscle score. There was good correlation between MR muscle score and clinical continence score. MR imaging provides additional information for therapeutic management and surgical procedures to improve continence.
