AB Anorectal  infections  are  common  problems  presenting  to  the  Emergency  Department.  Understanding  anorectal  anatomy  is  essential  to  make  a  diagnosis,  institute  proper  treatment,  and  anticipate  complications.  Failure  to  diagnose  and  treat  an  extensive  abscess  may  be  life  threatening.  It  is  imperative  to  obtain  a  surgical  consultation  if  one  is  unsure  of  the  extent  of  an  abscess.
