Posterior sagittal approach for Currarino syndrome with anterior sacral meningocele: A case report

Abstract

The authors report a case of Currarino syndrome with anterior sacral meningocele, tethered cord, and anorectal stenosis that was treated by posterior sagittal approach. Initially, a diverting colostomy was performed. Two months later, excision of the meningocele, untethering of spinal cord, and anorectoplasty were performed simultaneously without complication. Posterior sagittal approach seems to be very beneficial for excision of the presacral mass and reconstruction of the anus. J Pediatr Surg 35:1112-1114. Copyright © 2000 by W.B. Saunders Company.
