- (1) Likely 2 separate abscesses as perineal infection cannot extend to abdominal wall.
- (2) Perineal infection superficial to Colles fascia can extend to abdominal wall as Colles fascia is extension of Scarpa fascia.
- (3) Perineal infection deep to Colles fascia can extend to abdominal wall as Colles fascia is extension of Scarpa fascia.
