Abstract

Four cases of anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) are described, with comparisons between radiological and sonographic findings. On plain films, 2 cases showed the classic scimitar sign, and 1 case showed a defect in the anterior sacrum. The other lesion appeared radiologically to be a purely intrasacral meningocele. Myelography outlined part of the ASM in two cases. Sonography demonstrated the anterior sacral cysts in all cases. Sonography is a noninvasive method of monitoring progress or contraction of a lesion, and it can be used to demonstrate any associated pathology. The combination of plain‐film appearances and sonographic findings should be sufficient for diagnostic purposes. If an operative procedure is contemplated, then myelography may be performed in an attempt to outline the stalk.
