Popis: Abstract Background Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a gynecological disease significantly associated with older age. A higher prevalence of women with symptomatic POP showed physical and emotional distress, negatively affecting their quality of life (QoL). The most widespread tool used is the prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) of the International Continence Society (ICS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ultrasound (U/S) compared to POP-Q for the detection and quantification of POP in the anterior (urinary bladder) and apical (cervix/vaginal vault) compartments of the pelvic floor in Egyptian women. Results The current study revealed that among 83 women, 53 had POP with a mean age of 50.83 years, 96.2% had anterior compartment prolapse (either alone or with apical compartment prolapse), 52% had apical compartment prolapse (either alone or with anterior compartment prolapse), 47.2% had anterior compartment prolapse only, and 3.7% had apical compartment prolapse only. There was a strong agreement (almost linear) between (POP-Q) and U/S in detecting significant pelvic organ prolapse in the anterior compartment (Kappa value 0.925, P
