A study of pre-operative assessment of perianal fistulas using MRI
Keywords:
Fistula, MRI, abscess, fistulogramAbstract
Anal gland infections most commonly lead to perianal fistulas. With advances in techniques, MR imaging has proven to play an important role in perianal fistula evaluation and is currently considered to be the gold standard. This was a hospital based prospective observational study in which around 100 patients who were diagnosed to have perianal fistula clinically and referred for MR fistulogram to the Department of Radio diagnosis & Imaging, Government Medical College, Srinagar, J&K, India and were included in the study. In this study we concluded that about 26% patients (26 out of 100) had secondary tracks and 31% (31 out of 100) had associated abscesses which showed 86% concordance with surgical findings.
