Abstract

Perineal neuralgias may be considered as nerve entrapment syndromes, which have been anatomically poorly studied. The pudendal nerve could be compressed between the sacrospinal and the sacrotuberal ligaments. This study tries to find a correlation between the pelvis and the lumbosacral junction morphometry, and sacrospinal and sacrotuberal ligaments morphometry. We did an anatomical study of eight anatomic specimens, and we performed the measures by using the computed tomography scanner. No correlations were found.

A prism is a space figure which has two faces with parallel bases. These bases are polygonal (here triangular) and have parallel lateral sides. A right prism has lateral sides perpendicular to bases (so lateral sides are rectangular). See Fig. 9a
