Cloacal exstrophy typically presents with persistent absent bladder visualization, normal amniotic fluid, low omphalocele, skin-covered spinal defects, and sometimes a prolapsed terminal ileum (elephant trunk sign) protruding through the abdominal wall defect.
clinical ·
Anorectal Malformation
On ultrasound, the bladder is the first cystic structure seen from the abdominal cord insertion, outlined by umbilical arteries; a cystic structure posterior/inferior to the bladder reaching into the abdomen is hydrocolpos in a cloacal malformation.
clinical ·
Anorectal Malformation
Imperforate anus with recto-urinary fistula can show fluid distention of the rectum and enterocolitis on fetal MRI; increased fluid content (bright T2 signal instead of dark meconium) in a dilated rectum is a clue for recto-urinary fistula.
clinical ·
Cloaca
Urogenital sinus on fetal MRI shows a rectum following a normal posterior course (not dilated, reaching far enough), with hydrocolpos located between the bladder and rectum; this distinguishes it from short-common-channel cloaca.
clinical ·
Cloaca
Cloacal exstrophy on fetal MRI shows no meconium signal in the expected distribution of the rectum, distinguishing it from bladder exstrophy (which has a normal rectum with dark T2/bright T1 meconium signal).
clinical ·
Colorectal / ARM & Hirschsprung
Long-common-channel cloaca on fetal MRI presents with a high-positioned, dilated rectum that funnels distally but does not reach far enough, and a thick-walled bladder due to outlet obstruction.

Statement
Echogenic concretions (meconium) in the hydrocolpos or bladder are clues for a recto-urinary fistula and anorectal malformation.
Open
Statement
Fetal MRI shows meconium as dark on T2-weighted imaging and bright on T1-weighted imaging; fluid in the fetal bowel is bright on T2 and dark on T1.
