title: [Caudal vertebro-medullary dysrhaphia. Intra-sacral forms].
abstract: The mean theories of the sacral spinal dysraphisms are reviewed and 4 cases of "meningeal intrasacral diverticulum" are reported. The authors prefer this term to the more common "intrasacral occult meningocele". The proeminent symptom in their cases was late vesical incontinence, which disappeared after surgery. In the pertinent literature 24 similar cases were described till now.
