A study in organogenesis: The arterial supply of the anorectal region in the human embryo and fetus

Abstract: The development of the anorectal region is based on differentiation of the terminal portion of the hindgut. The origin of anorectal malformations is still unknown but seems to occur very early in the embryologic period. To gain a better understanding of their development, a study of the arterial supply of the anorectal region was made in 26 embryos and 50 fetuses.

“…No exact etiology and embryogenesis could be found. We believe in the vascular ischemia theory proposed by Bourdelat et al [10] and Dickinson [11]. In North India, congenital pouch colon comprises 4.38% to 8.3% of all ARMS and 10% to 26% of high ARMs.…”

“…High anorectal malformations are caused by failure of the urorectal septum to complete cloacal septation, resulting in a rectourinary fistula in the male or a rectocloacal fistula in the female [17]. Bourdelat et al [18] studied the arterial supply of the anorectal region in human embryos and fetuses and suggested vascular ischemia as a basis for the occurrence of anorectal malformations. Dickinson [19] also proposed that a vascular compromise in the region of the hindgut during early intrauterine development could account for pouch colon malformation.…”

“…No exact etiology and embryogenesis could be found. We believe in the vascular ischemia theory proposed by Bourdelat et al and Dickinson et al 9,10 In North India, congenital pouch colon comprises 4.38% to 8.3% of all ARMS and 10% to 26% of high ARMs. In our study, the incidence was much higher at 30.6% and 44.1% of all high-ARM cases whereas in a study by Gangopadhyay et al it was 15.1% and 19.5% respectively.…”

“…9 Because of the long follow-up period in SP, the families cannot bear the financial burden in a country like ours, where medical facilities are not available in each nuke and corner to treat colostomy complications, the delay of which results in so many preventable deaths. This is evident as many cases could not come for follow-up and complete the treatment.…”
