    Anorectal malformations are congenital anomalies affecting the anus and rectum that occur in approximately 1 in 5000 live births. Examination of newborns looks for the presence of an anus and any discharge from the perineum, as well as assessing the size and position of the anus. Radiographic imaging including ultrasound, CT and MRI are used to classify the type of anomaly and identify any associated abnormalities.
