“…Sacral cysts are usually classified into three groups: anterior sacral meningoceles, perineurial cysts, and intrasacral meningoceles. 3,4 There have been reports of several cases of intrasacral meningoceles since the first case was reported in 1932 by Enderle. 1 The pathogenesis of intrasacral meningoceles is unclear, and there have been several explanations.…”

We report a case of sacral fracture complicated by an intrasacral meningocele in a 37-year-old male. The patient had a left sacral fracture with bilateral fractures of the superior and inferior pubic rami. The sacrum was fixed with a posterior plate and both superior pubic rami were fixed with an intramedullary screw. However, computed tomography myelogram and magnetic resonance imaging showed the intrasacral meningocele with the leakage of the cerebrospinal fluid into the buttocks and developed delayed union. Reoperation utilizing a strong anterior and posterior internal fixation combined with posterior bone grafting was undertaken and bone union was obtained.

“…This cyst filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), including no neural component within the confines of the sacrum. 2,3 For many of the patients, intrasacral meningocele is asymptomatic, and they are often found by chance in diagnostic imaging. 4 Therefore, in many cases, the patients are not aware that they have the intrasacral meningocele.…”

“…1 Another report ascribed intrasacral meningocele as the cause. [14][15][16] Dermoid cysts are essentially benign, but will recur if incompletely removed. They will become enlarged if diagnosis and medical treatment are not performed.…”

Study design: A case report and a review of literature. Objectives: To describe a rare case of adult onset tethered cord syndrome associated with intradural dermoid cyst. Setting: General Orthopedics, Japan. Methods: A 50-year-old woman was referred to us because of right leg pain and pollakiuria. Neurological examinations and radiological assessments including myelography, computerized tomography scan and Magnetic resonance image were carried out. We diagnosed it as the adult onset tethered cord syndrome associated with an intradural cystic lesion. Results: The cystic lesion was totally removed following laminectomy from L5 through S4. Histologically, the tumor was diagnosed as a dermoid cyst. Conclusions: Intradural dermoid could produce adult onset tethered cord syndrome, but it was not reported in the English literatures to our knowledge.
