Anal endosonography (AES) reveals distinct features of the anal canal in children. This imaging technique is valuable for assessing anal anatomy in healthy children and evaluating surgical outcomes in those with anorectal malformations.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric imaging
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical anatomy

Background:

  • Congenital anorectal malformations require precise surgical correction.
  • Accurate anatomical assessment is crucial for successful outcomes.
  • Endosonography offers detailed visualization of pelvic floor structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the endosonographic features of the anal canal in healthy children.
  • To compare these findings with those in children with congenital anorectal malformations.
  • To assess the utility of anal endosonography (AES) in evaluating post-surgical anal anatomy.

Main Methods:

  • Anal endosonography (AES) was performed on two groups of children.
  • Group 1: 30 healthy controls.

  • Group 2: 15 children with congenital anorectal malformations.

    • Main Results:

    • Sphincter elements were clearly visualized in normal children.
    • The intersphincteric plane showed a characteristic double image in children.
    • AES accurately identified neoanus placement in 13 of 15 post-anorectoplasty patients.

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides detailed endosonographic descriptions of the pediatric anal canal.
    • AES is a useful tool for anatomical assessment in children, particularly after anorectoplasty for anorectal malformations.
