Brief Summary: Perianal Crohn's disease is a disabling disease associated with increased morbidity and impaired quality of life. It is associated with pain, discharge, fecal incontinence and sexual and psychological impairment. In refractory cases, a stoma may be necessary. A higher prevalence is seen with increasing Crohn's disease duration and appears to vary according to the disease location. The presence of symptoms associated with anorectal dysfunction, such as fecal incontinence, can sometimes poorly correlate with the presence of anal sphincter abnormalities. Moreover, even in patients without symptoms, the presence of anal sphincter abnormalities may have important implications for the future selection of type of delivery, and might even pose a contra-indication for certain types of anorectal surgeries.

Studies evaluating possible chronic complications of perianal Crohn's disease on anorectal function are lacking. There is a need for a better understanding of the chronic complications of this disease, and the role of high-resolution anorectal manometry in diagnosing these abnormalities during follow-up of these patients. This study will evaluate the chronic repercussions of perianal Crohn's disease in patients with a previous anal fistula and/or abscess that has healed and/or is inactive.
