Abstract

The Currarino triad consists of an anorectal malformation, a presacral tumor and a sacrum defect. A new case is reported in a female neonate. The diagnosis was suspected because of delayed emission of meconium associated with an occlusion syndrome. It was confirmed by bone imaging, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. A colostomy was performed on day 7 then closed on day 43 after several rectal dilation were carried out. A presacral lipoma was operated on at 10 months. The 56 cases reported in the literature are reviewed.
