Abstract
Essential anorectal pain is characterized by the absence of any anomaly detectable by endoscopy and radiological examinations [12, 14, 17]. Systematization of the pains and their correlation with the patient’s medical history and clinical examination are difficult. The term “essential anorectal pain” includes five main diseases which sometimes overlap [3, 12, 17] (Table 21.1): (1) proctalgia fugax, (2) coccygodynia, (3) anorectal neuralgia, (4) psychalgia, and (5) pudendal nerve compression.
