Sacro-Coccygeal Chordoma

A Sacro-Coccygeal Cyst

The enigmatic sacro-coccygeal dimple: to ignore or explore?

Antenatal diagnosis of large sacro-coccygeal teratoma with foetal cardiomegaly and hydrops.

We report the case of a young primigravida who presented with a 20 weeks pregnancy with a previous diagnosis of uterine fibroid. However, ultrasound evaluation revealed the presence of a large sacro-coccygeal teratoma in the foetus which was heterogeneous with cystic areas and calcific foci, and showed increased vascularity. There was also evidence of foetal cardiomegaly and hydrops foetalis, i...

Radiofrequency sinus excision. A simple technique for sacro-coccygeal pilonidal sinus disease.

adical excision has still been the most widely practiced surgical procedure for the treatment of pilonidal disease.1 The entire sinus is excised with the surrounding tissue down to the post sacral fascia. The defect may be left open to granulate, or is closed by primary suturing or with some form of flap. Healing by secondary intention takes long period and needs regular dressing and meticulous...

Cerebellar Metastasis from Extraosseous Chordoma of the Coccygeal Region: a case report

In this case report, we describe an extraosseous chordoma in the coccygeal region that later metastasized to the cerebellum. A 30-year-old man presented with a progressively enlarged lesion in the coccygeal region with painful sensation. Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large lobular mass in the coccygeal region without sacrococcygeal destruction. Patholo...
