“…However, if the cloacal common channel is short the urine may drain more easily, resulting in a less severe picture. The presence of calci®cation in the intestinal lumen caused by mixing of urine and meconium has been described in anorectal malformations associated with a ®stula, and this also applies to the cloacal anomalies [2,17].…”
