Normal VRAM flap appearances on MRI. Sagittal T2-weighted images show (a) a strip of muscle signal intensity extending posteriorly from the anterior abdominal wall, corresponding to the rectus abdominis flap (arrow) and (b) muscle flap terminating presacrally (arrow) with the subcutaneous fat component seen filling the pelvis and perineal defect (asterisk). c Coronal T2-weighted image of the same patient shows the muscle flap passing into the right hemipelvis (arrow) with subcutaneous fat component of the flap again well demonstrated (asterisk)
