Abstract
Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is characterized by a quick, uncontrollable loss of urine as a consequence of a rise in intra-abdominal pressure that exceeds the maximum urethral closure pressure and a rise in intra-vesical pressure.
Aim: To assess the diagnostic efficacy of MRI in women patients with stress incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction.
Patients and Methods: This retrospective, case-control study was performed on twenty-five female cases suffering from stress urinary incontinence that had been clinically diagnosed. Five normal females were included as control cases; they were not complaining of any urinary symptoms. MRI examinations were conducted at Sayed Galal Hospital from March 2023 to March 2024.
Results: There was no statistically significant variance among the continent volunteers incontinent cases regarding body mass index (BMI). At the same time, there was a significant variance among patient and control groups regarding Urethral Length, Length of supra pubic urethra and Levator hiatus width. 44.4% of the studied cases had Urethral motility, and 55.6% had Intrinsic sphincter Defects. 38.88% had continence, and 61.11% had no continence, as regard to cystocele there were 38.88% had no cystocele, 33.33% had grade I, 16.66% had grade II while 11.11% had grade III.
Conclusion: When combined with dynamic and static sequences, MRI can identify the entire pelvic floor, making it a dependable alternative for noninvasive pelvic evaluation.
