[Abstract] The function of defecation control refers to the ability to distinguish the dryness of stool and control its discharge normally when it produces the meaning of defecation. This function will be impaired after operation due to some unexpected factors, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, some congenital diseases and pelvic malignant tumors, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. In recent years, many scholars at home and abroad have carried out clinical and imaging studies on patients with defecation dysfunction, which can recognize the causes and improvement of defecation dysfunction, which has important clinical value for preoperative and postoperative treatment. It is the focus of the current research. From the perspective of imaging, MRI provides a basis for explaining the possible mechanism of its disorders and improving the prognosis. Therefore, the author briefly reviews the research progress of MRI in defecation control dysfunction in recent years.
