Fistula in Ano in a Nair of monozygotic Twin : A Congenital Etiology.
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Fistula in Ano in the infant and children has certain characteristics that seem to separate them from their adult counterpart. These are a preponderance in the first year of life, almost exclusive male predominance, simple superficial character
and
straight course of the tracts. These different findings lead to the need for etiological explanation.
We had an experience of anal fistula in a pair of monozygotic twin who shows unique findings. Base on these findings, we presume that some environmental effect in utero causes the formation of the abnormal glands which are vulnerable for gross
infection
after birth, and these abnormal anal glands are inclined to distribute in the anterolateral porton of anal canal. These findings support the congenital etiology of fistula in ano in the infants.
