[Endosonographic imaging of anal fistulas in infants].
Anorectal endosonography is established as a diagnostic tool in anorectal fistulas, today. Yet, there is still little experience with the use of this method in small children. We could visualize three intershincteric fistulas in children at an age of 6, 7 and 14 months. The procedure is well tolerated and even children under the age of one year can be examined with a special probe.
