Transrectal ultrasound was used in 2 patients with supralevator perirectal fluid collections. In one instance, this technique was used to diagnose and plan surgical drainage of a perirectal abscess. In another patient needle aspiration under sonographic guidance was performed for removal of a septated fluid collection.
