How is an anul fistula in an infant diagnoised?
Patient: My grandson is 8 weeks old and has been diagnosed with an anul fistula. I am concerned because there is Spina Bifida Occult in my family and I want to be certain that the diagnosis is correct. He is probably going to have an operation next week. Should he have a scan first. Thank you Doctor: Hello,   I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but it is important to perform a ct scan before surgery.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
