    Pediatric perianal abscesses are common yet often overlooked, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to age-related healing dynamics.

  • 2

    Surgical interventions like incision and drainage provide quick relief but may increase the risk of fistula formation in older children.

  • 3

    Conservative treatments, including antibiotics and observation, are generally effective in infants and young children due to their regenerative capacity.

  • 4

    Age-related differences in immune response and glandular anatomy affect disease progression and healing outcomes in pediatric patients.

  • 5

    The review emphasizes the need for individualized, age-specific management and highlights gaps in evidence for standardized treatment protocols.
