ABSTRACT
Perianal fistulas are prevalent in 0.01- 0.05%[1] of the population and are commonly associated with discomfort and morbidity to the patient. Surgical treatment is the only modality of management of fistulas with the pitfall of high rate of recurrence. MR fistulography has been demonstrated to be superior to conventional methods such as endoanal USG and fistulography in delineating the tracts and identifying complications such as branching or collections, thus helping surgical management of these patients thereby reducing rate of recurrence.
