Predictors of outcome in cryptoglandular anal fistula according to magnetic resonance imaging: A systematic review

Alireza Teymouri,

et al.

Abstract: Background and Aims: Anal fistula (AF) with cryptoglandular origin tends to recur, and multiple risk factors are implicated. Recently, some magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings with predictive value for disease outcomes have been proposed. These intrinsic anatomic features include those of the AF and its surrounding structures. This study aims to clarify the prognostic role of MRI in AF.Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and EBSCO databases. Two independent reviewers conducted th… Show more

“…It's very useful to value extrasphincteric plans, but more difficultly differentiates sphincteric muscles. (6) Fistulography has been displaced by ultrasound and MRI. Most likely, its use must be restricted nowadays in cases in which these two explorations don't contribute useful data.…”
