Abstract
In the literature of defaecography, the pelvic floor is described as a muscular diaphragm. Functional control results from central innervation. Radiological imaging of this part of the pelvic floor can be performed indirectly by contrasting of the rectal wall, anal canal and crena anis according to the proposals of Mahieu and co-workers [1, 2] and others.
