Abstract

In this article, we begin with an introduction of the perianal region anatomy, then review the definition, etiology, epidemiology, and 2 major classification systems of perianal fistulas. The role of MR imaging for assessment of perianal fistulas is mainly discussed. Finally, the medical and surgical treatment principles are reviewed.

Keywords: Classification; MR imaging; Perianal fistulas; Treatment.
