    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Surgical Anatomy
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Sliding hernias can present as groin masses.
    • Sacral defects may indicate underlying congenital anomalies.

    Observation:

    • A woman presented with a left groin mass, identified as a sliding hernia.
    • A concurrent bony sacral defect was noted.
    • Imaging revealed a massive anterior sacral meningocele.

    Findings:

    • The anterior sacral meningocele was a significant incidental finding.
    • Diagnostic imaging modalities included ultrasonography and myelography.
    • A surgical approach was proposed for the meningocele.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of investigating sacral defects in patients with hernias.
    • Underscores the diagnostic utility of combined imaging techniques.
    • Provides a case for surgical management of anterior sacral meningoceles.
