โฆ Synopsis
Anterior sacral meningocoele is a rare presacral tumour. Diagnosis can be difficult and there is a lack of agreement regarding the best approach to surgical treatment'. We report a case in whom magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosed and localized the lesion without the need for myelography. The surgical approach to this condition is discussed.
