Anorectal Malformations: The Utility of Transperineal Ultrasound

Purpose or Case Report: Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are a heterogenous group of congenital anomalies involving the distal rectum and anus that are often associated with other anomalies. Neonates with ARMs may be identified at birth or prenatally and, upon delivery, receive a myriad of imaging tests to characterize the type of ARM and associated anomalies. Recent literature supports the use of transperineal ultrasound in the initial assessment of neonates with ARMs, with the Society of Pediatric Radiology recommending its use in the imaging algorithm for ARMs. Transperineal ultrasound, if adequately performed, allows evaluation of the location of the distal rectal pouch and the anatomy and location of any rectourogenital fistulas. In this educational poster, we review the clinical presentation and classification ARMs and discuss the role of transperineal ultrasound in the initial assessment of cases. We then describe common sonographic findings of ARMs on transperineal ultrasound using examples from our own institution. Our goal is to familiarize pediatric radiologists with this heterogenous group of congenital anomalies and the clinical utility of transperineal ultrasound in characterizing this pathology.
