Sacral hemangioma with sinus tract in an infant.
Congenital midline cutaneous lesions should always alert the clinician to the possibility of spinal dysraphism. These lesions can take many different forms. The physician should be cognizant of such lesions in order to avoid potential neurologic complications. We present a patient with a midline sacral hemangioma associated with a congenital enteric sinus cyst, a previously unreported association.
