Currarino triad, a rare condition, involves anorectal malformations, sacral anomalies, and presacral masses. Early recognition and surgical intervention for this triad are crucial for proper patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Genetics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Currarino triad is a rare congenital disorder.
  • It presents with a specific combination of anomalies.

Observation:

  • A 1-year-old boy with constipation was diagnosed with Currarino triad.
  • Imaging revealed a sacral bony defect, anterior rectal displacement, and a presacral mass.
  • MRI showed a thickened filum terminale and a pelvic mass.

Findings:

  • Surgical release of the filum terminale and obliteration of the anterior sacral meningocele were performed.
  • Postoperative transient dysuria and persistent defecation difficulties were noted.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of Currarino triad is essential for effective treatment.
