ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in anal fistula.@*METHODS@#A total of 2160 patients were clinically diagnosed with anal fistula at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March 2010 to September 2015. Among them, 232 cases with operative history at other hospital, 218 with Crohn's disease, 6 with rectum cancer and 8 with other disease were excluded, and 1696 patients were finally enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. The saggital FSE T2WI imaging was confirmed based on the midline of body, and then the coronal and axial scanning line were confirmed. The key point was that the coronal scanning line must parallel and the axial scanning line must be perpendicular to the major axis of anal canal. The characteristics of anal fistula were recorded, and anal fistula were classified as five types, including intersphincteric, transphincteric, suprasphincteric, extrasphincteric and superficial fistula according to the Parks classification and our experience. The distribution of internal opening was described by using lithotomy position clock method.@*RESULTS@#Of 1696 patients, 1456 were males and 240 females with median age of 26.5 (0.2 to 87.0) years. Age of 8.4% (143/1696) cases was under 20 years old, of 57.4%(973/1696) cases was between 20 to 40, of 28.4%(482/1696) cases was between 40 to 60, of 5.8%(98/1696) cases was over 60. The 1696 MR examinations included 1128 on 1.5T MR and 568 on 0.5T MR. Of all the anal fistulas was 29.0%(492) high position and 71.0%(1204) was low position. Among the 1696 patients, 1057 were intersphincteric fistulas(62.3%), 407 were transphincteric fistulas(24.0%), 68 were suprasphincteric fistulas(4.0%), 54 were extrasphincteric fistulas (3.2%), 67 were superficial fistulas(4.0%), and 43(2.5%) were difficult to classify. A total of 1996 internal openings were found and most of them were located around the dentate line of 5-7 o'clock in lithotomy position(47.7%, 952/1996).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Anal fistula mainly occur in young men, and the most common type is intersphincteric fistula. MRI can accurately classify anal fistulas and clearly demonstrate internal openings, and provide reliable evidence for clinical treatment and surgery.
