Coming soonAn anal fissure is a longitudinal tear or ulceration in the squamous epithelium of the anoderm, typically extending from the dentate line to the anal verge.
This gastrointestinal condition affects both pediatric and adult populations and is most commonly initiated by local mechanical trauma from passing hard stools, chronic diarrhea, or vaginal delivery.
It is clinically characterized by intense, sharp anal pain during defecation, spasms of the internal anal sphincter, and bright red rectal bleeding.
Pathophysiologically, the resulting hypertonicity of the internal anal sphincter and subsequent local microvascular ischemia impede wound healing, predisposing the lesion to chronicity.
