Résumé

Les localisations gastro-intestinales de la tuberculose représentent environ 1% des cas de tuberculose extrapulmonaire, et les localisations anopérinéales sont sporadiques dans la littérature.

Nous rapportons quatre cas de fistule anale tuberculeuse colligés sur une période de 11 ans, survenus successivement chez trois hommes et une femme et chez qui l’examen anatomopathologique a permis le diagnostic. L’évolution était favorable sous traitement médicochirurgical. Cette étude rétrospective a pour objectif de montrer les particularités concernant la prise en charge clinique, diagnostique et thérapeutique des fistules tuberculeuses anales.
