Abstract

An abscess is a collection of pus in a cavity formed by disintegrating tissue and surrounded by inflamed tissue. A collection of pus in the tissue around the anus and rectum caused due to infection of anal glands is known as anorectal abscess. Ischiorectal abscess means collection of pus in the space between the external anal sphincter and the pelvic bone. Aacharya Sushruta explained that if vidradhi attains the pakvaavastha, the first line of treatment is to drain the pus through bhedana and later, it should be treated as vrana. In the presentcontext, a 38 year old male patient suffering from left sided ischiorectal abscess was admitted and treated with surgical incision and drainage and one month post operative care was taken by ayurvedic regimen without antibiotics.

Keywords: Ischiorectal abscess, vidradhi, pakvaavastha.
