Abstract
- case of occult intrasacral meningocele associated with arachnoid cyst in a 35-year-male is reported. The patient presented with a history of severe sacrococcygeal pain, constipation, and urinary incontinence for several months. Myelography revealed delayed filling of a meningocele. Computed tomographic(CT) myelography and magnetic resonance(MR) imaging showed huge intrasacral mass without neural elements. A favorable outcome was achieved by decompression of the cyst, obliteration of the conduit to subarachnoid space, and fenestration of arachnoid cyst into subarachnoid space.
