- Abstract
Although modifiable risk factors for levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsion have been identified, the mechanism by which it is produced has not been described. Two cases of LAM avulsion were detected, one of which was bilateral (Figure) and the other was unilateral; both patients had had spontaneous vaginal delivery.
