These were atresia ani, atresia ani et recti, rectovaginal fistula, perianal growth, umbilical hernia, persistent urachus, urethral diverticulum, cleft palate and contracted tendon. These were diagnosed clinically. The radiographic examinations were performed as and when required to confirm the diagnosis. The surgical interventions were also done.
