The Currarino triad: complex of anorectal malformation, sacral bony abnormality, and presacral mass.

The Currarino triad is a unique complex of congenital caudal anomalies including anorectal malformation, sacral bony abnormality, and presacral mass. The usual symptomatology is constipation due to anorectal stenosis.
