Currarino Triad With Presacral Meningocele: A Study With Intrathecal Gadopenthate Dimeglumine And Surgical Management

The Currarino triad is a rare hereditary caudal malformation complex consisting of sacral bone defect, anorectal malformation and presacral mass, which is transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern with variable phenotypic expression. We report a case of complete Currarino triad with anterior meningocele that was studied with intrathecal gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid magnetic resonance imaging, a novel technique that may be useful for surgical decision and planning in disorders involving the cerebrospinal fluid pathways.
