Core Tip	Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is a non-invasive, bedside imaging tool for assessing anorectal inflammation and fistulizing disease in patients with inflammatory bowel conditions. It enables real-time evaluation of rectal inflammation in ulcerative colitis and offers reliable detection and monitoring of perianal fistulas and abscesses in Crohn’s disease. Its utility extends to children, pregnant women, and patients with pouch-related complications after surgery. Enhanced techniques-such as Doppler imaging, contrast administration, three-dimensional ultrasound, and computerized analysis-expand its diagnostic power. TPUS serves as a practical, repeatable, and cost-effective imaging option, especially as a first-line screening tool or when magnetic resonance imaging is unavailable, contraindicated, or impractical.
