Abstract
Pudendal neuropathy is common. The diagnosis is clinical and the confirmation is electrophysiological. Distal pudendal nerve latencies have been used but they are unspecific and do not allow to localize the site of compression. A preliminary electrophysiological study has suggested separate innervations of the anterior and the posterior anal sphincter quadrants, so diverging from what main anatomy textbooks teach. By detailed dissections of pudendal nerve region we can confirm a dichotomy in the innervation of the two quadrants. Therefore, it seems feasible, by using the differences of staged sacral reflexes, to better localize the compressive neuropathy, with a stimulation of the clitoris and by recording latencies of different muscles.
