RESULTS: The most common presenting symptoms were constipation and decreasing calibre of stool. The main causes of anal stenosis were previous surgery, neoplasia and fissure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Unfortunately, most patients present with advanced disease, with adjuvancy providing no clear benefits (3,8). Overall survival is poor despite aggressive management: From 5 % to 21 % at 5 years (3,8-10). [scielo.isciii.es]

• Disability

  It is a very disabling condition, worsened by the patient's embarrassment, but uncommon. The vast majority of cases are secondary to trauma, iatrogeny, inflammatory diseases, or neoplasia, or occur postradiation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Conclusion Scaring stenosis of the anal canal represents a disabling condition of anal surgery or disease, extremely difficult to manage. Many different surgical techniques have been described. [bmcgeriatr.biomedcentral.com]

  Things to remember Anal stenosis can be disabling to the person who suffers from it. People sometimes resort to excessive use of laxatives to find temporary relief. Anal stenosis can be a disabling condition, affecting quality of life in many ways. [ddc.musc.edu]

• Constipation

  The presence constipation in two generations of this family with YPS suggests that constipation could be a gastrointestinal manifestation of the condition. [consultant360.com]

  It comes on slowly so the patient is not fully aware of the narrowing and attributes it to “constipation”. [ayurvedapilescure.com]

  Patients who experience anal stenosis describe constipation, bleeding, pain, and incomplete evacuation. Although often described as a debilitating and difficult problem, several good treatment options are available. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Rectal Pain

  Rectal pain that stemmed from an ano-rectal fissure was an important differential in this scenario; however, the patient’s negative history for any signs of rectal bleeding and negative physical exam made it less probable. [springerplus.springeropen.com]

  Furthermore, some patients are so miserably affected by the rectal pain that several weeks of conservative therapy is not an option. [glowm.com]

• Rectal Mass

  On examination, superficial abscesses will be indurated, erythematous, tender masses. Deeper abscesses may be palpated as a tender boggy mass on digital rectal exam; however, the exam may be deceivingly unremarkable. [glowm.com]

• Hyperkeratosis

  I apparently have hyperkeratosis per the last biopsy and mild chronic inflammation. Perhaps that explains the pain? My oncologist has wanted me to use Annusol Ointment 5 x day, the colo-rectal surgeon wants me to use Nifedepine 3 x day. [csn.cancer.org]

• Aniridia

  Some patients with typical systemic features of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome may even have typical anterior chamber features of Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly in one eye and severe iris hypoplasia resembling aniridia in the other. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Miosis

  […] formation of megakaryocytes and the structural abnormalities mentioned above. 5 Laboratory study results in the reported YPS cases showed thrombocytopenia and elevated creatine kinase. 3-5 Some of the clinical features of YPS in the reported cases include miosis [consultant360.com]

• Neglect

  Furthermore, the brevity of discus sion of anatomy, physiology, and pathology and the neglect of details of medical therapy of numerous colorectal diseases must be attributed to the fact that this volume is directed primarily toward the practicing surgeon [books.google.com]

  Although classed as a minor anomaly, if neglected, becomes a major one requiring urgent surgical treatment. We present a case of rectal perforation secondary to anal stenosis in an apparently normal looking anus. [jpss.eu]

• Overflow Incontinence

  Overflow incontinence and soiling were corrected by local flaps and skin graft and were maintained by frequent dilatations after downward traction of the whole anus was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

She did an exam and sent us to a pediatric surgeon to do a workup for anal stenosis, meaning she believes her anus is too narrow for her age. [forums.thebump.com]

• Entamoeba Histolytica

  histolytica inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a disorder or inflammation of the colon and small intestine There is a condition known as Anal Crohn's disease that mimics the symptoms of anal stenosis. [ddc.musc.edu]

Both non-surgical and surgical treatments have been devised in the treatment of anal stenosis with good results. We described the results of the treatment of this disease in the Coloproctology Department of our institution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For these children, a colostomy is indicated during the newborn period, but once the final surgery corrects the defect, the prognosis is likewise excellent. [drgreene.com]

These patients have an excellent prognosis for bowel control and fecal continence, and therefore, complete mobilization and resection of the anal canal must be avoided. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is good as far as anal continence is concerned because the anal sphincter complex development is normal. [saudisurgj.org]

Since its initial description by Hermann in 1880 (2), 5-year survival rates have been estimated around 5 %-40 % (3-5), and one reason for this poor prognosis is delayed diagnosis due to overlapping with benign conditions. [scielo.isciii.es]

Due to the rarity of this pathology and the different referral patterns among institutions, the etiology ranges widely between published reports. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention of this condition may be achieved by adequate intake of dietary fiber or regular bulk laxatives in these debilitated patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, anal stenosis can, in many cases, be prevented from occurring in the first place. [tgh.org]
