ABSTRACT
We review our experience with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of 6 patients showing anorectal malformation, and 4 more with persistent postoperative fecal incontinence. Preoperative sagittal, axial and coronal planes were studied with special consideration to the pelvic and vertebral structures. The excellent resolution of MRI allowed accurate identification of the pelvic musculature in all patients, including those with bizarre sacral abnormalities. MRI revealed structural anomalies not detected previously, such as teathering cord, intraspinal lipoma, presacral mass and renal malformation. In our institution, MRI has replaced the CT scan in the study of patients suffering of persistent fecal incontinence. In non operated on cases of anorectal malformations, MRI determines with extraordinary accuracy the location of the rectal atretic pouch, the actual pelvic muscular quality, and the detection of previously unsuspected associated anomalies.
