Article Abstract

Unlabelled:  Omphalocele, exstrophy of cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defects complex is a rare malformation complex that includes omphalocele, cloacal exstrophy, imperforate anus and spinal defects with the incidence of 1 in 200,000 to 400,000 pregnancies and is even rarer in twin gestation. The etiology of this complex is still unclear. Most cases are sporadic. Prenatal screening must be done for diagnosis and appropriate multidisciplinary management of cases. In severe cases, termination of pregnancy is considered. We present a 4-day first twin child with underdeveloped ambiguous genitalia delivered via emergency lower section cesarean section at 32+3 weeks of gestation with giant liver containing omphalocele, cloacal exstrophy, imperforate anus and meningocele with severe pulmonary artery hypertension and non-visualization of right kidney and ureter, absence of uterus, fallopian tubes and right ovary. Separation and repair of the cecum and bladder were done. The ladd procedure was performed. Ileostomy was created and single-stage repair of the abdominal wall was done.

Keywords: anorectal malformations; bladder exstrophy; case reports; neural tube defects; umbilicus.

Introduction: Rectal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies, accounting for approximately 4 % of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts. The glomus coccygeum is a vascular structure located around the tip of the coccyx. This case report details an adolescent female with a rectal duplication cyst, where incidental dissection of the glomus coccygeum during surgery resulted in unexpected blood loss.

PPP1R12A-related urogenital and brain malformation syndrome (UBMS) is a newly described disorder characterized by congenital anomalies primarily involving the urogenital system and the brain. We describe a preterm female neonate with multiple congenital anomalies, including type IIIb jejunal atresia, incomplete intestinal rotation, imperforate anus without rectal fistula, and vaginal atresia. Brain imaging revealed bilateral periventricular white matter echogenicity, and echocardiography identified a muscular ventricular septal defect.

Background: The Spalt-like transcription factor 1 (SALL1) gene is essential for kidney development. Pathogenic SALL1 variants cause Townes-Brocks syndrome 1 (TBS1), which typically presents with imperforate anus, dysplastic ears, and digital anomalies. However, clinical features vary widely.

Prenatal diagnosis of low-type anorectal malformations (ARMs) can be challenging, particularly when the target sign appears displaced or misleading. We report two fetuses-one male and one female-with isolated low-type anal atresia, both diagnosed prenatally through targeted axial and midsagittal transperineal ultrasound and confirmed postnatally. In the male fetus, an eccentrically located target sign and a hyperechoic tract suggested a perineoscrotal fistula.
