The authors report a case of Currarino triad with a combination of anterior sacral meningocele and mature teratoma, sacral body deformity, anorectal stenosis, and tethered cord. A newborn girl suffered from vomiting, abdominal distension and constipation. Initially, a diverting colostomy was performed at the age of one month. 7 months later, at the age of 8 months, we performed posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP): As a result, extirpation of teratoma, excision of meningocele, untethering of the spinal cord, and anorectoplasty were achieved simultaneously without complication. We suggest the use of an MRI to specify the presence of anosacral and spinal cord anomalies in patients with intractable constipation and we recommend combined pediatric and neurosurgical assessment and management for all cases of Currarino triad.

The complete Currarino triad (or syndrome) consists of anorectal anomalies, a sacral bony defect, and a presacral mass. Generally autosomal dominant in its inheritance, incomplete penetrance also characterizes this syndrome. We report the case of a 12-day-old patient with vomiting in whom a diagnosis of incomplete Currarino syndrome was made.
