A child with cystic duplication of the rectum containing ectopic duodenal mucosa and aberrant pancreatic tissue presenting as a chronic perianal fistula is reported. The duplication was removed by subtotal excision of the cyst along with mucosal sleeve resection from the common septum with the rectal wall.

A 40-year-old man underwent anal exploration due to an ischiorrectal abscess. Drainage of the abscess and instillation of hydrogen peroxide (HPO) to evidence any perianal fistula was performed. In the forth postoperative day the patient presents fever accompanied by a painful palpable mass in the right iliac fossa (RIF). Laboratory studies revealed elevated white blood count with neutrophilia.

treatment of patient with high anal fistulas has become complicated and post-operative complications are common. the aim of this study was to evaluate post-operative complications of primary sphincter’s repair technique in patients with high anal fistula. an interventional quasi-experimental study was conducted on 60 patients(42 male & 14 female) with high anal fistula. the most frequent age gr...

BACKGROUND To diagnose and characterize the perianal fistulous disease using Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a hilly and rural area of North India. MATERIAL/METHODS This prospective hospital based study was conducted for a period of one year from April 2014 to April 2015 in the departments of Radiodiagnosis and Surgery of our institute. A total of 50 consecutive patients presenting with p...

The primary importance of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in evaluating anal fistulas lies in its ability to demonstrate hidden areas of sepsis and secondary extensions in patients with fistula in ano. MR imaging is relatively expensive, so there are many healthcare systems worldwide where access to MR imaging remains restricted. Until recently, computed tomography (CT) has played a limited rol...

Perirectal abscesses and fistulas represent the acute and chronic manifestations of the same disease process, an infected anal gland. They have beleaguered patients and physicians for millennia. A thorough understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology of the disease process is critical for optimal diagnosis and management. Abscess management is fairly straightforward, with incision and drain...

Background: Fistulae and stenoses represent frequent and severe complications in patients with Crohn disease (CD). Our study aimed to identify risk factors for fistula and stenosis formation in CD patients. Summary: We retrieved data of 1,600 CD patients from the nationwide Swiss Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort Study (SIBDCS). The risk for fistulae and stenoses in relation to gender, age at d...

PURPOSE The aim of our study was to assess the contribution of various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences in determining the type of perianal fistula and in obtaining critical information for surgical decisions, as well as to define the optimal combination of sequences for readers with varying levels of experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 33 MRI examinations in 26 pat...
