Twenty-one patients with anorectal anomalies were evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In seven preoperative patients, MR imaging demonstrated the level of atresia correctly by showing the rectal pouch and sphincter muscles. The exact location and development of the sphincter muscles were estimated and associated anomalies involving the kidneys and the spine and its contents were evaluated. In 14 postoperative patients, the location of the pulled-through intestine was examined in relation to the sphincter muscles. MR imaging demonstrated operative complications affecting rectal continence--such as a misplaced neorectum, inadvertently pulled-through mesenteric fat, and an implantation mucous retention cyst--and provided objective data for individuals with persistent incontinence after surgery who were under consideration for repeat surgery. The authors recommend MR imaging in all patients being considered for repeat procedures and in any patient without prior surgery who is suspected of having a high anomaly; any degree of sacral agenesis; or spinal, genito-urinary tract, or cloacal anomalies.
