What is a horseshoe extension?
A curved extension tracks around the anal canal and may reach both sides. It does not necessarily create two visible skin openings.
What matters in the map?
The location, any abscess and connection to the main tract affect drainage and treatment. Bring images, not just the label, and do not infer an undocumented extension.
