An Anorectal Abscess is a collection of pus in the area of the anus and rectum.
A majority of these abscesses arise from acute inflammation of the anal gland. Pus collects within the internal sphincter and gradually paves its way between the internal sphincter and conjoined longitudinal muscle. From here it tract down and comes superficially to the perianal region.
Ischiorectal abscess is an extension of anal gland inflammation laterally through the external sphincter. Infection may be through blood or lymph or through a penetrating injury causing direct infection from outside. The patient here complains of acute pain by the side of the anus. Pain is excessive during defaecation. On examination, a tender, browny, indurated swelling is seen and felt superficially to the ischiorectal fossa on one side of the anus. Some constitutional symptoms may also be present.

Toddlers or children that have a history of anal fissures (tears in the anal sphincter) are also at a higher risk for developing anal abscesses later on. Such anal fissures might occur in children who have a history of constipation.
