Perianal abscesses (PA) are relatively common in children, especially in infants. Traditionally, incision and drainage is the treatmentof choice. Exmination by the ultrasound is useful in identifying abscess in infants with skin and soft tissue infections. In this casereport we present a 11-month-old infant boy with recurrent PA treated using surgical incision with drainage and systemic antibiotics.
