Abstract
Anorectal malformations (ARMs) represent a wide spectrum of congenital anomalies of the anus and rectum, of which more than half are syndromic. Their etiology is highly heterogeneous and still poorly understood. We report a 4-year-old girl who initially presented with an isolated ARM, and subsequently developed a global developmental delay as part of an ARID1B-related Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS). A co-occurrence of ARMs and CSS in an individual by chance is unexpected since both diseases are very rare. A review of the literature enabled us to identify 10 other individuals with both CSS and ARMs. Among the ten individuals reported in this study, 8 had a variant in ARID1A, 2 in ARID1B, and 1 in SMARCA4. This more frequent than expected association between CSS and ARM indicates that some ARMs are most likely part of the CSS spectrum, especially for ARID1A-related CSS.
