Sacral agenesis in siblings is rare. Surgical untethering of the spinal cord improved urinary symptoms in one patient, highlighting the need for thorough investigation of neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Neurology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Sacral agenesis is a rare congenital disorder affecting the development of the sacrum.
  • Familial occurrence of sacral agenesis suggests a potential genetic component.

Observation:

  • A rare case of sacral agenesis observed in siblings is presented.
  • One patient exhibited a low-lying conus medullaris, a common finding in spinal dysraphism.

Findings:

  • Surgical untethering of the filum terminale in the affected patient led to significant improvement in urinary symptoms.
  • This intervention addressed the neurological deficits associated with the low-lying conus.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of comprehensive neurological evaluation in patients diagnosed with sacral agenesis.
