Abstract

Pelvic floor pathology has a high prevalence in women older tan 50 years, and presents a high failure rate in its clinical diagnosis, which leads to unsatisfactory results after surgical management. Magnetic resonance defecography plays an important role in the study of the pelvic floor, providing valuable anatomic and functional information, This article reviews the technique of the study, normal findings, interpretation and pathology of the male and female pelvic compartments. Entities such as cystocele, urethral hipermobility, hysterocele, uterine and vaginal prolapse, rectocele, rectal prolapse, enterocele, anal incontinence, descending perineal syndrome and anismus will be addressed.
