title: Anorectal malformation with malrotation of gut.
abstract: Infants with anorectal anomaly have a high risk of having other congenital anomalies, but associated gastrointestinal tract anomalies are quite rare. Malrotation of gut is rarely associated with anorectal anomaly. We report two such cases of anorectal malformation with malrotation of gut. The high index of suspicion, diagnostic difficulty and surgical management with avoidance of appendicectomy in these neonates is discussed.
