title: Sacral dermal sinus: A report of 3 cases.
abstract: Three cases of sacral dermal sinus are reported. Although none of the patients developed meningitis, the danger of this serious complication and the need for early diagnosis and surgical excision are emphasized. Invasive radiological investigations may be dangerous and are seldom indicated. The relationship of sacral dermal sinus to other dermal lesions in this area is discussed.
