Intrasacral meningocele is an unusual congenital lesion. It is an intrathecal cystic formation arising as a protrusion of the arachnoid through a congenitally weak place in the dura mater. We report a case of a 12-year-old child with chronic pain with an intrasacral meningocele identified on magnetic resonance imaging.

A Case of Perineal Hemangioma, External Genitalia Malformations, Lipomyelomeningocele, Vesicorenal Abnormalities, Imperforate Anus, and Skin Tag (PELVIS) Syndrome with Extensive Perineal Infantile Hemangioma.

PELVIS syndrome describes the constellation of perineal hemangioma, external genitalia malformations, lipomyelomeningocele, vesicorenal abnormalities, imperforate anus, and skin tag. A 2-month-old girl presented with infantile hemangioma on her perineum and genitalia with imperforate anus, rectovaginal fistula and perineal skin tag at birth. Under the impression of PELVIS syndrome, consequential spinal sonography was conducted and revealed an intrasacral meningocele without clinical neurologic deficit.

Introduction: Intrasacral meningoceles are cysts associated with herniating arachnoid with no nerve root within due to an area of weakness of the dura mater. They are thought to be congenital, but they are usually not symptomatic until adulthood. Surgical treatment is generally indicated in the presence of symptoms.

Background: Intrasacral occult sacral meningoceles (OSM) are uncommon congenital lesions that rarely become symptomatic, even over a patient's life time.
Methods: We operated on six patients with symptomatic OSM diagnosed on MR studies (all six) and/or CT examinations (four cases).
Results: All six patients had uneventful postoperative recoveries.
Spinal Dysraphisms: A New Anatomical-Clinicoradiological Classification.
Indian J Radiol Imaging
October 2021
Department of Radiodiagnosis, Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Spinal dysraphisms refer to the congenital abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord due to aberrations in the processes of gastrulation, primary neurulation, and secondary neurulation. Embryology of many complex spinal dysraphisms are yet poorly understood and there is no agreeable anatomical-clinicoradiological classification with inclusion of recently documented and complex spinal dysraphisms. The main objective of this study was to review the imaging features of spinal dysraphisms with a better understanding of embryological abnormalities and propose a new classification inclusive of all complex and unusual dysraphisms based on anatomical and clinicoradiological correlation.
