Core Tip	Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), is a common and complex digestive condition with multiple causes. Patients with ODS are usually characterized by constipation and a frequent urge to defecate but difficulty in passing stool. This study aimed to identify the types, causes, and severity of ODS in constipated patients using magnetic resonance defecography. The predominant findings were descent of the pelvic floor and anorectal region, with ODS being more common in females, particularly those < 30 years-old. It is recommended that young female patients be prioritized in ODS assessments, and that health policies be developed to improve management of ODS.
