Colorectal Quizzes: Episode 39 – Mullerian Anomalies in Patients with ARM

Topic overview

In this episode of the Colorectal Quiz, hosted by Liza Bokova, a colorectal research fellow at Children's National, we explore a case of a 12-year-old female with a history of cloaca and Mullerian anomaly. Joined by leading experts Dr. Levitt from Children's National, Dr. Frischer from Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Dr. Lesley Breech, and Dr. Veronica Gomez-Lobo, we discuss the importance of gynecologic assessments in patients with anorectal malformations, the challenges of identifying Mullerian anomalies, and the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in patient care.

Key Topics:

• Early assessment of Mullerian anomalies in patients with anorectal malformations.
• Case discussion on a 12-year-old with a history of cloaca and twin sister advancing in puberty.
• Techniques such as vaginoscopy, saline perturbation, hysteroscopy, and MRI for evaluating Mullerian structures.
• Collaboration between colorectal, gynecology, and urology teams in patient management.

Tune in to learn from top experts in the field and deepen your understanding of managing these complex cases.
