✦ Synopsis

Applying the Hughes' pathogenic classification of ano-perineal lesions of Crohn's disease, this study was conducted to find out its possible prognostic value in perianal fistulas. Thirty-eight patients with ano-perianal fistulas were included; primary specific lesions (condyloma, cavitating ulcer, fissure) were found in 22 patients (group 1) and were absent in the other 16 patients (group 2). Patients of group 1 underwent more abdominal surgical interventions (G 1: 68%; G 2: 31% - P = 0.05), as well as proctological interventions (G 1: 2.95 operations/patient vs 1.35 in G 2 - P = 0.01). Perfect continence was recorded ultimately in 31.8% patients of G 1 compared to 62.5% of G 2. This study shows the very poor prognosis of ano-perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease.

The incidence and prognosis of anal fistulas were investigated in a prospective study comprising 136 patients operated on for Crohn's disease. The incidence of anal fistulas was 27 of 136 (20%), in patients with classical disease 12 of 68 (18%), and in those with Crohn's colitis 15 of 68 (22%). A fi

## Abstract Detection of carcinoma in perianal Crohn's disease can be difficult. The purpose of this study was to describe the MRI appearance of anorectal cancer in patients with perianal Crohn's disease. A total of six patients with anorectal carcinoma (four mucinous adenocarcinoma, two squamous)
