Role of Endoanal Ultrasound and MRI in Assessment of Perianal Fistula
Marwa Abdalla Aly Hassanin Mahfouz;
Abstract
SUMMARY
Perianal fistula is defined as a tract lined by granulation
tissue which may have external opening, internal opening, or
both external and internal openings.
They commonly occur in middle-aged men as a result of
cryptoglandular infection, Crohn’s disease, radiotherapy, and
secondary malignancy.
The most common presenting symptom is discharge
(65% of cases), but local pain due to inflammation is also
common.The treatment of fistulas requires surgery. While this
is successful in most cases, it is associated with a significant
prevalence of recurrence.
