Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in males has broad spectrum of clinical conditions, divided into anterior and posterior compartments. The latter housing the anorectum, thence the name Anorectal dysfunctions which in turn divided into 2 categories 1) Anal incontinence, 2) Constipation. The anterior compartment is considered with urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction investigations, followed by MRI assessment (static, dynamic & defecography). general anatomical considerations of pelvic floor muscles &anal canal sphincter complex including normal MRI anatomy (static & dynamic) were described, followed by reviewing the literature on normal physiology of defecation & continence. Then anorectal dysfunctions with highlight clinical assessment, neurophysiological tests, and radiological investigations, followed by MRI assessment (static, dynamic & defecography). Using MRI to assess penile muscles and external urethral sphincter is our aim to answer many questions about erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence
