Symptoms include perianal pain, perianal discharge and faecal incontinence, with repercussions for a patient's physical and mental health, psychosocial wellbeing and productivity. PFCD is challenging to treat, with existing therapeutic options achieving modest fistula remission rates only. While research initiatives are under way to characterise PFCD pathogenesis and optimal treatment approaches, the focus should be on early diagnosis and prompt management. This can be achieved with patient education, effective co-ordination of care within the multidisciplinary team and an accessible inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) service. IBD specialist nurses may be the first health professionals to encounter a patient with a new diagnosis of PFCD or its complications.
