Abstract
Anterior sacral meningoceles are congenital lesions that consist of a spinal fluid-filled sac in the pelvis communicating by a small neck with the spinal subarachnoid space through a defect in the sacrum. The 3 patients with this disorder presented here had characteristic symptoms and physical findings: chronic constipation, a pelvic mass and almost unmistakable roentgenographic changes, but diagnosis was delayed from 11 mo.-21 yr in all 3. After prolonged and complicated treatment, the primary lesions were surgically eradicated and function was generally satisfactory.
