    This study presents ten cases of rare high anorectal malformation with short colon. A large gas-fluid level on invertogram is key for pre-operative diagnosis, with surgical intervention being the primary treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Malformations
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • High anorectal malformations (HARM) are rare congenital anomalies.
    • Short colon is a frequently associated condition in HARM.
    • Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • Ten cases of HARM associated with short colon were analyzed.
    • A significant finding was a large gas-fluid level on invertogram, occupying over half the abdominal cavity.
    • The presence of colo-vesical/colo-vaginal fistulas was noted in affected patients.

    Findings:

    • The large gas-fluid level on invertogram is a critical indicator for pre-operative diagnosis of HARM with short colon.
    • Terminal colostomy or ileostomy combined with fistula disconnection is the established therapeutic approach.

  • Associated congenital anomalies significantly contribute to high patient mortality.

    • Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis using invertogram findings can improve surgical planning.
    • Understanding the necessity of fistula disconnection is vital for successful treatment outcomes.
    • Addressing associated malformations is essential to reduce the high mortality rates in these complex cases.
