INTRODUCTION: We present the case of a 35-year-old woman with a large anterior sacral meningocele who had been unable to conceive. RESULT AND DISCUSSION: Following neurosurgical consultation, she underwent repair of her meningocele which resulted in complete resolution of her meningocele and 1 year later, she delivered her first child. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates that following surgical treatment, female patients with anterior sacral meningoceles may be able to conceive and bear children.
