Inferiorinferior: pubocervical fascia as it inserts into the tendinous of the levator ani muscle -
Anterioranterior: arcuate rim of the ileum -
Posteriorposterior: endopelvic fascial sheath covering the internal iliac artery and vein. The cardinal; cardinal ligament divides the paravesical spaces from the pararectal spaces. -
Medialmedial: bladder pillars -
Laterallateral: pelvic walls, obturator internus and levator ani muscles
