Chronic perianal pain: an unsolved problem

M E Neill, M Swash, M E Neill, M Swash

Abstract

Thirty-five patients with chronic anal pain of obscure origin are described. This syndrome is ill-defined and treatment is unsatisfactory. There is a high incidence of sciatica and of damage to the pelvic floor musculature, but although the pain has features consistent with a neuralgia, its cause is unknown.
