    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is a rare congenital condition involving a meningeal cyst protruding through a sacral bony defect.
    • First described by Bryant in 1837, only 154 cases have been documented globally, highlighting its rarity.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis and clinical presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnostic modalities for anterior sacral meningocele.
    • To emphasize the role of advanced imaging in identifying this rare congenital anomaly.
    • To discuss the clinical implications and diagnostic challenges associated with ASM.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on anterior sacral meningocele.
    • Discussion of diagnostic imaging techniques, specifically ultrasound, CT scan, and myelography.
    • Analysis of case reports to understand diagnostic patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Anterior sacral meningocele is an exceptionally rare congenital disorder.
    • Diagnostic imaging, particularly myelography followed by CT scan, is essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • Ultrasound can also play a role in the initial detection and characterization of the cyst.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate and timely diagnosis of anterior sacral meningocele is critical for appropriate patient management.
    • A combination of imaging techniques, including myelography and CT, provides comprehensive diagnostic information.
    • Further research into the long-term outcomes and optimal treatment strategies for ASM is warranted.
