Can sacral development as a marker for caudal regression help identify associated urologic anomalies in patients with anorectal malformation?

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

Retrospective study of 283 ARM patients examining sacral ratio as predictor of urologic anomalies. Lower sacral ratios significantly correlated with hydronephrosis, high-grade VUR, solitary kidney, and tethered cord, suggesting SR may help identify patients requiring enhanced urologic surveillance.
