title: Complete familial Currarino triad. Report of three cases in one family.
abstract: The Currarino triad is a unique complex of congenital caudal anomalies including anorectal malformation, sacral bone abnormality, and presacral mass. In this report, the authors describe three cases with the complete Currarino triad in a family. The authors treated a 30-year-old mother with an anterior sacral meningocele, her 1-year-old son with a combination of anterior sacral meningocele and dermoid cyst, and her 4-year-old daughter with an epidermoid cyst. These three patients had associated sacral agenesis and anorectal malformations. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report describing radiological and operative findings of complete familial Currarino triad in which a mother and her two children were affected.
