    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Intrasacral meningocele is a rare condition involving a dural sac protrusion into the sacrum.
    • Occult intrasacral meningocele presents insidiously, often diagnosed late.
    • Pregnancy and childbirth can exacerbate or reveal symptoms of this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of occult intrasacral meningocele.
    • To discuss the terminology, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation of this rare lesion.
    • To review current treatment strategies for intrasacral meningocele.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a 27-year-old female patient.
    • Review of relevant medical literature on intrasacral meningocele.
