Introduction: Sacral agenesis is a congenital condition associated with multiple orthopedic, spinal, abdominal and thoracic organ deformities. Meningocele is commonly found among patients with sacral agenesis.

Conclusion: Surgical repair was performed and is the best treatment option for significantly large lesions, with postoperative CSF leak being the main complication.
