The diaphragmatic part of the pelvic fascia covers both surfaces of the Levatores ani. The layer covering the upper surface of the pelvic diaphragm follows above the line of origin of the Levator ani and is therefore somewhat variable. In front it is attached to the back of the pubic symphysis about 2 cm above its lower border. It can then be traced laterally across the back of the superior ramus of the pubis for a distance of about 1.25 cm when it reaches the obturator fascia.
