Overview
Anal fissures can be divided into primary and secondary anal fissures based on etiology, posterior and anterior anal fissures based on location, and acute and chronic anal fissures based on the duration of symptoms.
Classification
Anal fissures are divided into different categories according to different classification systems:[1][2][3][4]
- Anal fissure may be classified according to causative factors into 2 subtypes/groups:
- Primary anal fissure- caused due to local trauma such as hard stools, prolonged diarrhea, vaginal delivery, repetitive injury or penetration. These are usually posterior and anterior in location.
- Secondary anal fissure- caused due to previous surgical procedures in the anal area, inflammatory bowel disease, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, HIV/AIDS, syphilis. They are usually multiple and lateral in position.
- Anal fissure may be classified into several subtypes based on location:
- Posterior anal fissures- it is found in 90% cases.
- Anterior anal fissures- seen in 10% of cases.
- Based on the duration of symptoms, an anal fissure may be classified as either acute (4-8 weeks) or chronic.
