“…This can lead to bowel and bladder dysfunction (e.g., constipation, obstruction, and incontinence), venous or lymphatic obstruction, or even lower extremity paralysis [ 3 , 4 ]. In some cases SCTs present with urological symptoms; however, urinary retention is a rare and unusual presentation [ 5 , 6 ]. The large pelvic mass in our patient caused bladder displacement and urinary retention as the presenting symptom without any associated symptoms.…”

“…Risk of recurrence might be high especially in immature and malignant SCTs and in case of incomplete resection of tumor, nonresection of coccyx, and spillage of tumor components during surgery [ 6 ]. The surgeon should properly drain the cystic lesion and avoid tumor rupture and spillage to reduce this risk [ 7 ].…”

“…Postsurgical urologic and gastrointestinal sequels including high grade reflux and bladder dysfunction are common in these patients due to mass effect of tumor or most likely because of intraoperative damage to sacral nerve plexus during extensive tumor resection. The urologic comorbidities are usually associated with more pelvic involvement; in other words, higher Altman grades are associated with further urologic sequela [ 3 , 6 , 8 ]. However, careful and precise resection with preservation of neural structures that supply bladder and anal sphincter may reduce this risk.…”

Type IV sacrococcygeal teratoma is a rare pediatric tumor that is confined to the presacral area with no external component. The signs and symptoms often arise due to mass effect and compression of adjacent organs. Urinary retention is an uncommon presenting symptom in these patients. A wide spectrum of imaging findings may be encountered in cases with sacrococcygeal teratoma because of variability of tumor size and components. We hereby present a unique magnetic resonance urography finding in a type IV sacrococcygeal teratoma which caused bladder displacement. A meticulous and complete resection of tumor with special attention to the pelvic plexus led to preservation of normal voiding function and normal bowel function in this patient.

“…That affection rate of about 1 / 35000-40000 live births, occurring 35-60% of these types of teratomas, tumors found in girl than in boy [2]. It can be diagnosed antenatally or at birth with a prevalence of 3 to 4 times in female children compared to males [3]. Benign SCT has an excellent outcome after early surgery, but the incidences of malignancy increase if resection is delayed [4].…”

Sacro-coccygeal teratoma (SCT) is a type of tumor which mostly occurs in newborn babies. The vast majority of this type of tumor is benign. That pathology can be diagnosed antenatally or at birth. Teratomas, especially those diagnosed in the neonatal period, occur most frequently in the sacrococcygeal region. Clinically in many cases, we can observe a large swelling (mass) in the sacrococcygeal region. In some cases, there are signs of compression following by the displacement of the rectum and pelvic organs. Alphafetoprotein is the main biological test used. In association morphologically by echography, CT-scan, MRI and others, the tumor is classified. The classification used is the topographical one of TSCs, which was proposed by Altman to the American Academy of Pediatric Surgery. The mainstay of therapy is the complete surgical removal. We present a case of a newborn (6 months), female, with teratoma sacro-coccygeal. At birth the baby was noticed to have large swelling (mass), without any sign of compression of others organs. Clinical and paraclinical signs permitted us to conclude of a SCT type II of Altman's classification. A surgery was performed with a sacral approach. Histologically, tumors were classified into good (mature) category.

“…Approximately one third of patients suffer long-term incontinence of stool and urine. In some of the studies [22,25] fecal and urinary incontinence is as high as 64% and 50% respectively. Athena wonders as to what proportion of post-surgical female urinary incontinence can be attributed to missed diagnosis of "vanishing mid-urethra".…”
