Abstract

Currarino syndrome is a congenital disorder, consisting of a triad of anomalies including an anorectal malformation, sacral anomaly, and a presacral mass.  Anterior sacral meningoceles are the most common presacral mass.  A young child presented to our institution with an unrepaired anorectal malformation and a large anterior sacral meningocele.  We describe how the anterior meningocele affected the imaging work-up.
