Currarino triad associated with Hirschsprung's disease.

The Currarino syndrome is a rare hereditary condition. The major symptom is chronic constipation from early life, and, in more than 80% of the cases, this condition is diagnosed in the first decade. The authors describe an unusual case of a complete Currarino triad associated with Hirschsprung's disease in a 6-year-old girl, presenting persistent constipation and abdominal distension. The patient is free of symptoms after surgical treatment of anorectal malformation and Hirschsprung's disease. The presacral mass was excised. Complete screening of the pelvis is recommended by using ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) scan, and radiography in patients with a history of chronic constipation from early childhood.
