[Anterior sacral meningocele].
Anterior sacral meningocele is an uncommon and often occult disorder of clinical importance. The pelvic mass induces symptoms mainly because of its pressure on surrounding organs. Obstipation and urinary symptoms are common. In females, complications due to prolonged or obstructed labour and infections are serious and can be fatal. The radiological manifestation is quite typical. It is important to be aware of anterior sacral meningocele in order to reach the right diagnosis, and to suspect it when typical symptoms are present.
