We report a case of an occult intrasacral meningocele. An 11-year-old boy presented with atypical bowel symptoms, severe constipation, and stool incontinence. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging disclosed an intrasacral cyst containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We diagnosed an occult intrasacral meningocele and performed perforation of the cyst and closure of the fistula. The patient was free from constipation and stool incontinence after the operation.
We discuss the clinical features and neuroradiological findings of this rare condition.
我们报告一例隐匿性骶管脊膜膨出病例。一名11岁男孩出现非典型肠道症状、严重便秘和大便失禁。磁共振成像显示骶管内有一个含有脑脊液的囊肿。我们诊断为隐匿性骶管脊膜膨出,并对囊肿进行了穿刺和瘘管闭合术。术后患者便秘和大便失禁症状消失。
我们讨论了这种罕见疾病的临床特征和神经放射学表现。
