A pictorial overview of pubovisceral muscle avulsions on pelvic floor magnetic resonance imaging
OBJECTIVES Despite extensive research aimed at clarifying (failing) pelvic organ support, the complete aetiology of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is still not fully understood. During vaginal delivery, the pelvic floor can be irreversibly traumatised, resulting in pubovisceral muscle avulsions. The aetiology of these avulsions is discussed in this pictorial overview. Normal female pelvic floor an...
متن کاملBiometry of the pubovisceral muscle and levator hiatus by three-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE Until recently, magnetic resonance was the only imaging method capable of assessing the levator ani in vivo. Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound has recently been shown to be able to demonstrate the pubovisceral muscle. The aim of this study was to define the anatomy of the levator hiatus in young nulliparous women with the help of 3D ultrasound. METHODS In a prospective observational...
متن کاملOn the anatomy and histology of the pubovisceral muscle enthesis in women.
AIMS The origin of the pubovisceral muscle (PVM) from the pubic bone is known to be at elevated risk for injury during difficult vaginal births. We examined the anatomy and histology of its enthesial origin to classify its type and see if it differs from appendicular entheses. METHODS Parasagittal sections of the pubic bone, PVM enthesis, myotendinous junction, and muscle proper were harveste...
متن کاملValidation of three-dimensional perineal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging measurements of the pubovisceral muscle at rest.
OBJECTIVE To compare biometric measurements of the pubovisceral muscle during rest, measured using transperineal three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS In this prospective study, 18 female volunteers underwent 3D perineal ultrasound examination and MRI. All women were examined at rest in the supine position and the following measurements were taken: ar...
متن کاملInterrater reliability and physical examination of the pubovisceral portion of the levator ani muscle, validity comparisons using MR imaging.
AIMS Defects in the pubovisceral portion of the levator ani muscle are seen with MR imaging. This study aims to determine interrater reliability of physical examination in detecting these defects, and to validate findings from physical examination using comparisons with MR images. METHODS Two examiners palpated the pubovisceral muscles of 29 women to assess for defects in this muscle. Each ex...
