Epidermoid cyst inside anterior sacral meningocele in an adult patient of currarino syndrome manifesting with meningitis

Abstract: The Currarino triad, also known as the "Currarino Syndrome", is a rare complex of congenital caudal anomalies including three main features; a sacral bony deformity, anorectal malformations, and a presacral mass. We present an extremely uncommon case of Currarino syndrome in adulthood presenting with repeated episodes of meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging of spine was suggestive of caudal regression. Cord was low lying, conus ending at L3 level with evidence of tethering at that level. A large cyst was not… Show more

“…The management of Currarino syndrome generally consists of treatment of ARMs and the presacral mass. A presacral mass may be approached surgically through a posterior sagittal approach attained by an incision from the sacrum to the anus [16]. The prone position is the standard approach for posterior sagittal anorectoplasty(PSARP) in males; however, in females, the supine position can be used as an alternative [17].…”

“…Currarino syndrome may be occasionally associated with epidermoid cysts. However, the most frequent pathologies described are anterior sacral meningoceles and teratomas [16]. Presacral meningoceles are the most common entity (60% of patients) [9].…”

“…1 Em pacientes com defeitos anorretais associados, deve-se pensar na síndrome de Currarino, uma desordem autossômica dominante ligada à região 7q36, 1,14,15,[19][20][21] com vários relatos de transmissão familiar na literatura. 1,16,20,21 A associação com medula ancorada e tumores como cistos dermoides, epidermoides, teratomas e lipomas também é descrita. [1][2][3]8,14 O diagnóstico ainda é desafiador, apesar da evolução dos exames de imagem.…”

“…[1][2][3]5,6,[8][9][10][11] Essa condição foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1837 por Bryant apud Dios Seoane et al, 1 Funayama et al 12 e Hino et al 13 e existem, aproximadamente, 250 casos relatados até os dias atuais. 2,4,6,9,14,15 A tríade defeito ósseo, malformação anorretal e uma massa pré-sacral configura a síndrome de Currarino, 1,6,8,10,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] e tal massa pode consistir de um tumor, de uma meningocele sacral anterior ou da associação de ambos. 8,16 Apresenta incidência desconhecida 15 e acredita-se ser uma desordem de transmissão autossômica dominante.…”
