  • Title: [Magnetic resonance tomography of children with surgically treated anal and rectal atresia].
    Author: Krahe T, Herold A, Dölken W, Höcht B.
    Journal: Rofo; 1989 Nov; 151(5):542-6. PubMed ID: 2554405.
    Abstract:
    MRI of the pelvis was performed in 17 children following surgical correction of anal and rectal atresias and in five children without ano-rectal malformations. A muscle score was used to characterize the muscles of the pelvic floor and their relationship to the rectum. There was close agreement between the MRI muscle score and clinical continence. MRI provided additional information that should improve continence following conservative and surgical treatment.
