anorectal neuralgia, levator syndrome, spastic pelvic floor syndrome, spastic levator syndrome, and spastic piriformis) which endeavor to describe the problem [13]. McGivney and Cleveland published an article in 1993 entitled "Levator syndrome and its treatment" [14]. However, the knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor is of the sine qua non to understand the pathophysiology of chronic perineal pain syndromes [15].

In this review study we present diagnostic approaches of the dysfunctional anorectum and pelvic floor disorders which are accompanied by elements of their etiology and pathophysiology contributing to objective patients' assessment and to accurate diagnosis of their pathological cause that lead to the appropriate treatment selection.
