Fig. 6 —28-day-old girl with low mimicking high imperforate anus.
Midline sagittal sonogram shows gas-filled distal rectal pouch decompressed by
large anocutaneous fistula (arrowheads). Distal end of pouch is
difficult to delineate and pouch-to-peritoneum (P) distance
(asterisks) is more than 15 mm, fulfilling criterion for high
anomaly. In general, anocutaneous fistula indicates low anomaly, making
pouch-to-peritoneum measurements unnecessary. S = pubic symphysis, V =
vagina.
