Abstract
In the past, a greatly overestimated prevalence of perianal complications in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), approaching 20-25%, was reported. Indeed, a large percentage of these patients had probably been misdiagnosed and were actually suffering from Crohn’s disease or indeterminate colitis. Nonetheless, it is clear that perianal inflammatory disease sometimes occurs in the setting of UC [1].
