Abstract
The authors report a case of Currarino syndrome with anterior sacral meningocele, tethered cord, and anorectal stenosis that was treated by posterior sagittal approach. Initially, a diverting colostomy was performed. Two months later, excision of the meningocele, untethering of spinal cord, and anorectoplasty were performed simultaneously without complication. Posterior sagittal approach seems to be very beneficial for excision of the presacral mass and reconstruction of the anus.Entities:
