Core Tip Perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease affects up to 20% of patients and frequently requires combined medical and surgical management. Accurate and objective disease assessment is essential for the diagnosis, monitoring, and guidance of therapeutic interventions. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis is the gold standard imaging modality for the evaluation of perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease. However, modalities such as endoanal ultrasound and transperineal ultrasound represent practical and accessible alternatives, particularly for repeated short to medium-term disease reassessment. This article aims to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of magnetic resonance imaging, endoanal ultrasound, and transperineal ultrasound in the assessment of perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease.
