There is poor correlation between clinical and MRI findings when assessing vaginal apex prolapse. Magnetic resonance imaging allows the identification of other prolapsing compartments and may be a complementary diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of complex vaginal apex prolapse.

This technique is effective in providing relatively long anatomic cure of the rectocele and resolution of its symptoms.

A number of lines of evidence suggest that the Myogenic Hypothesis remains viable as a contributor to detrusor overactivity.

Lower urinary tract symptoms are common, affecting up to 35 % of women in European countries. However, this heterogenous group of symptoms correlates poorly with underlying diagnosis. By describing a case of a 61-year-old woman with troubling urinary urgency, urge incontinence, and frequency, this case provides a systematic approach to aid the assessment, investigation, and management of women presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms.
