Sacral Hemangioma with Sinus Tract in an Infant

Abstract

Congenital midline cutaneous lesions should always alert the clinician to the possibility of spinal dysraphism. These lesions can take many different forms. The physician should be cognizant of such lesions in order to avoid potential neurologic complications. We present a patient with a midline sacral hemangioma associated with a congenital enteric sinus cyst, a previously unreported association.

“…The association of lumbosacral hemangiomas and spinal dysraphism is well established (2–4). While some lumbosacral hemangiomas are well‐developed, with a typical proliferative phase, in our own practices we have seen several instances in which the hemangiomas were predominantly telangiectatic, with only a minimal proliferative phase.…”
