Abstract

Abstract : In 68 patients with anorectal malformations cardiovascular anomalies (CVA) were seen in 15 and genitourinary (GU) anomalies in 30. CVA were more frequent (33%) whenever there was a GU anomaly. Ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion. All but 1 CVA occurred with type III anorectal malformation. The complexity of the cardiac lesion did not parallel that of the GU anomaly.
