The radiologic anatomy of the puborectalis muscle.
Dissections of the puborectalis muscle were made postmortem in seven newborns dying of non-surgical causes. The muscle was outlined with contrast material; lateral x-rays showed the normal radiologic position of this muscle to lie along a line drawn from pubis to the lowest point of the ischium.
