An unusual case of meconium peritonitis associated with perforated hydrocolpos.

Meconium peritonitis results from intestinal wall perforation with meconium spillage into the peritoneum during intrauterine life. Anal atresia is associated with meconium peritonitis and is also associated with cloacal malformation. A female neonate presented with a distended abdomen, anal atresia, and meconium peritonitis as diagnosed by calcification in the peritoneal cavity on abdominal radiograph. Sonography and cystography demonstrated a cloacal malformation with perforation of the hydrocolpos and resultant spillage of meconium into the peritoneum. There was no evidence of further perforation of bowel at surgery. This unusual case of meconium peritonitis is reported.

Intraabdominal calcifications in the newborn: an unusual case with anorectal malformation and other anomalies.

Intraabdominal calcifications are an unusual radiographic finding in the newborn and can easily be misinterpreted as meconium peritonitis. The authors refer to a patient with anorectal malformation (ARM), intraluminal calcifications and other anomalies. Careful differentiation of the type of intraabdominal calcifications can suggest the possibility of other initially unsuspected anomalies.

Enterolithiasis in two neonates with oesophageal and anorectal atresia.

Enterolithiasis in two neonates with oesophageal and anorectal atresia is reported. The features of the two cases and comparison with the literature, the particular appearance of these intracolonic calcifications and the importance of radiological examinations for associated digestive, urinary and pulmonary malformations are presented.

Anal agenesis with recto-bulbar fistula.

Four cases of anal agenesis with rectobulbar fistula, a rare type of anorectal anomaly, are described along with the preferred mode of radiological investigation to demonstrate the fistula.

Assessment of bowel control with anorectal manometry after surgery for anorectal malformation.

Bowel function after surgery for anorectal malformation was assessed by Kelly's score in 101 children over 3 years of age. Seventy-two were examined using anorectal manometry. In the "good" group, resting pressure of the anal canal was as high as in the normal children, and the frequency of contraction waves in the anal canal was the same as in the normal children. Recto-anal reflex was recognized in about three fourths of the "good" group. On the other hand, in the "poor" group resting pressure was low, in only one were contraction waves evident and in none was there a recto-anal reflex. The findings of the anorectal manometry placed the "fair" group between the "good" and the "poor" groups. The clear contraction waves of the anal canal or the clear recto-anal reflex related to a resting pressure in the anal canal of over 20 cmH2O. This high pressure in the anal canal is important for good and continence, and depends on a precise pull-through of the rectum into the puborectalis muscle.

The foreskin anoplasty.

The role of anal sensation in fecal control is well established. A new operative method of creating a skin-lined anal canal using the patient's foreskin, as a secondary procedure, in patients with anal (colonic) prolapse following surgery for high anorectal anomalies, is described. The results in five patients treated between 1967 and 1979 are presented. A sixth patient, treated in 1983, is not included due to the short follow-up period.

Vaginal anus.

A technique is described by which congenital ectopic anorectum with normal intestinal tissue opening in to the vulva ("vaginal anus") was successfully corrected in two teen-age patients. The technique has several advantages: a new anal canal is formed and the wounds heal promptly with little postoperative pain and reduced risk of postoperative anal stenosis.
