A male infant was delivered normally at term

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
5.) How will you define the level of the anorectal anomaly?

After 24 hours a cross-table lateral X-ray may be taken to see the level of gas in the rectum. It should be noted whether the end of the rectal gas shadow is above the coccyx or below it.
