Despite many efforts, the embryology of numerous congenital anomalies in humans remains a matter of speculation. This is due to a number of reasons, such as a shortage of study material (both normal and abnormal embryos), various technical problems (difficulties in the interpretation of serial sections, shortage of explanatory three-dimensional reconstructions), and misconceptions and/or outdated theories concerning normal and abnormal embryology. Fortunately, there are now several animal models that allow advanced embryological studies in various embryological fields, including that of anorectal malformations (ARM). © 2006 Springer-Verlag.
