Introduzione
There’s a type of cyst that develops at the bottom of coccyx or tailbone. It’s called a pilonidal cyst. It can become infected and filled with pus. Once infected, the technical term is “pilonidal abscess,” and it can be painful. It looks like a big pimple at the bottom of the tailbone. It is more common in men than in women. It usually happens more often in younger people. During World War II, more than 80,000 soldiers got pilonidal cysts that put them in the hospital. People thought they were because of irritation from riding in bumpy Jeeps. For a while, the condition was called “Jeep disease.”
People who sit a lot, such as truck drivers, have a higher chance of getting one. They can be treated successfully in most cases. If it is inflamed & painful, it can be drained or taken out surgically.
Segni e sintomi
Pain, redness, tenderness and swelling at the bottom of the spine
Pus or blood draining out of it with bad smell
Febbre
Cause
The exact cause of pilonidal cysts is not clearly known. But most pilonidal cysts appear to be caused by loose hairs that penetrate the skin. Friction and pressure — skin rubbing against skin, tight clothing, bicycling, long periods of sitting or similar factors — force the hair down into skin.
Pilonidal means “nest of hair,” and hair follicles are found inside the cyst while removing it surgically. Experts say ingrown hairs are the most common cause of pilonidal cyst.
Another theory is that pilonidal cysts appear after a trauma to that region of your body.
A small dimple in the skin between buttocks at birth can be a risk factor for developing pilonidal cyst later in life.
Other risk factors include obesity, long & thick hair, sedentary lifestyle, prolonged sitting, and excessive sweating.
Fisiopatologia
It has been postulated that hair penetrates into the subcutaneous tissues through dilated hair follicles, which is thought to occur particularly in late adolescence, though follicles are not found in the walls of cysts. Upon sitting or bending, hair follicles can break and open a pit. Debris may collect in this pit, followed by development of a sinus with a short tract, with a not clearly understood suction mechanism involving local anatomy, eventually leading to further penetration of the hair into the subcutaneous tissue. This sinus tends to extend cephalad, likely owing to mechanical forces involved in sitting or bending. A foreign body-type reaction may then lead to formation of an abscess. If given the opportunity to drain spontaneously, this may act as a portal of further invasion and eventually formation of a foreign body granuloma. Infection may result in abscess formation.
Microscopically, the sinus where the hair enters is lined with stratified squamous epithelium with slight cornification. Additional sinuses are frequent. Cyst cavities are lined with chronic granulation tissue and may contain hair, epithelial debris, and young granulation tissue. Cutaneous appendages are not seen in the wall of cysts, meaning the cysts lack epithelial lining, unlike the sinus. Cellular infiltration consists of lymphocytes, and plasma cells in varying proportions. Foreign body giant cells in association with dead hairs are a frequent finding.
Diagnosi
In most of the cases, physical examination with detailed history can confirm the diagnosis
In rare cases, imaging techniques like USG, MRI etc. will be required.
Trattamenti
Antibiotics do not heal a pilonidal cyst. But there are therapeutic procedures including:
Incision and drainage: This is the preferred method for a first pilonidal cyst. Making a cut into the cyst and draining it. Then any hair follicles are removed and leaves the wound open, packing the space with gauze.
Marsupialization: In this procedure, A cut is made and pus is drained. After removing pus and any hair that are inside, the doctor will sew the edges of the cut to the wound edges to make a pouch.
Incision, drainage, closing of wound: In this technique, the cyst is drained, but it’s not left open.
It is important to obey all instructions by doctor, after a surgery.
Try to keep the area clean. Check for any signs of a new infection, such as redness, pus, or pain.
Continue regular follow ups to ensure the healing of the cyst.
Prognosi
A complete cure is possible in most of surgically removed pilonidal cysts, but chance of recurrence is high.
Complicazioni
Abscess formation.
Recurrence of the pilonidal cyst.
Systemic infection (infection that spreads throughout the body)

Samana
Upanaaha – bandage to prepare the area for extraction of sallya inside
Poorana – filling up the naadee with herbs
