Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A male infant was referred to our department because of lumbosacral meningomyelocele, dorsal enteric fistula and imperforate anus. The mother had received a parenteral drug containing estradiol benzoate and progesterone for inducing abortion in the first trimester. She also used an anal pomade containing triamcinolone and lidocaine-HCl during the pregnancy for hemorrhoids. Sigmoid end colostomy was performed after meningomyelocele repair. On abdominal exploration a wandering spleen was detected but no other anomalies. Two months later, an abdominoperineal pullthrough was performed, and the patient was discharged well after three weeks. Our case is the sixth that had split notochord syndrome associated with dorsal enteric fistula and imperforate anus. Additionally, penoscrotal transposition and wandering spleen were present in this case. To our knowledge, these associated anomalies have been extremely rare. |
