Abstract
Essential anorectal pain is characterized by the absence of any anomaly detectable by endoscopy and radiological examinations [10, 12]. Systematization of the pains and their correlation with the patient’s medical history and clinical examination are difficult. The term “essential anorectal pain” includes three main diseases which, however, sometimes overlap [3, 10] (Table 25. 1):
-
Proctalgia fugax
-
Coccygodynia
-
Anorectal neuralgia
