    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Sacral cysts are rare, fluid-filled sacs that can occur in the sacrum.
    • Extradural cysts are located outside the dura mater, often causing neurological symptoms.
    • The presence of a calculus within a sacral cyst is exceptionally uncommon.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms necessitating imaging of the sacral region.
    • Radiographic and/or MRI findings revealed an extradural sacral cyst.
    • Intra-cyst imaging or surgical exploration identified a calculus (stone) within the cyst.

    Findings:

    • The primary finding is the coexistence of an extradural sacral cyst and a urinary calculus.
    • This case represents a unique pathological entity, potentially related to urine extravasation or chronic inflammation.

  • Histopathological analysis may provide further insights into the stone's etiology.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for sacral masses and intraspinal pathology.
    • It underscores the need for thorough investigation of sacral cysts, including assessment for calculi.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of such formations may inform clinical management strategies.
