In the anal sphincter complex, the intersphincteric space between the internal and external sphincters is the only conventionally recognized pathway for the spread of sepsis. However, there is another unrecognized space discovered on MRI, the "outer-sphincteric space", between the external anal sphincter and its lateral fascia along which pus can spread. An abscess in the intersphincteric space is easily drained into the rectum via the transanal route and is more likely to spread into the supralevator space. Conversely, an abscess in the outer-sphincteric space is difficult to drain transanally into the rectum and is more likely to become a transsphincteric abscess/fistula.
