Brief description of the disease: The anal sinus is located in the dentate line of the anal canal, between the bases of two adjacent anal columns. It is shaped like a half moon, with an upward opening, concave like a pocket, and 3 to 5 mm deep. There is an opening for the anal glands at its base. Anal sinusitis, also known as anal cryptitis, refers to the inflammatory lesions of the anal crypts in the dentate line of the anus. Anal sinusitis often causes anal infectious diseases such as perianal abscess.

Causes:

Due to the special anatomical morphology of the anal sinus, feces are easily accumulated in the anal sinus or it is blocked by secretions, causing infection and inflammation. In addition, dietary factors may also cause anal sinusitis, such as fried and spicy foods, seafood, etc.

Clinical manifestations: 1. Anal pain during defecation, and the location is very clear.

2. It is often more common in the posterior anus because this is where the pressure in the anal canal is the highest.

3. In addition, there will be a foreign body sensation in the anus, discomfort, a feeling of falling in the anal canal, and purulent secretions in the anus.

Differential diagnosis:

1. Anal fissure

The main symptoms of anal fissure are periodic anal pain, constipation and bloody stool. The pain is more severe than that of anal cryptitis and the pain lasts longer.

2. Perianal abscess

It is the result of further development of anal cryptitis, and its main manifestations are gradually aggravated perianal pain, chicken-pecking-like pain when pus forms, accompanied by chills and fever, and a routine blood examination shows a significant increase in white blood cell count and neutrophil count.

Treatment:

1. Conservative treatment

When anal sinusitis first occurs or the symptoms are mild, medication and sitz baths can be used for treatment.

2. Surgery

For patients with anal sinusitis that is not responsive to drug treatment, or for patients with anal sinus abscesses, or those with anal papilla hypertrophy and hidden fistulas, surgical treatment is recommended. Treatment methods include anus incision and anus resection.
