Abstract
Ten cases [infants and children] of a rare high anorectal malformation associated with short colon are presented. The significance of a large gas fluid level (occupying more than half of the abdominal cavity on invertogram) is stressed for pre-operative diagnosis. Terminal colostomy or ileostomy with disconnection of colo-vesical/colo-vaginal fistula was considered the only adequate therapy. Associated congenital malformations were responsible for high mortality in these patients.
