Abstract
Anterior sacral meningocele is a rare abnormality. Only 14 cases of it have been reported in association with pregnancy. Of those 14 patients, three died as a result of rupture of the meningocele during labor and postpartum. A new case is presented; the clinical presentation, the diagnosis, and treatment are discussed. The obstetric management of the case is discussed and a plan for management is suggested.Entities:
