چکیده
Anterior sacral meningocele is a rare condition presenting as a lower abdominal mass. One such case was seen in a baby girl aged 2 months, who was admitted with abdominal distension and urinary difficulty for one week. She had a lower abdominal mass which investigated by MRI, turned out to be an anterior sacral meningocele causing her symptoms. The meningocele was excised successfully via an open abdominal approach. Postoperative recovery and follow-ups remained uneventful. Presentation, various diagnostic modalities and treatment options for an anterior sacral meningocele are briefly discussed.
