Anterior sacral meningocele is characterized by herniation of the meningeal sac due to a developmental bone defect in the front of a sacrum bone. It was first described in 1837. The sacral meningocele may be congenital or acquired. It is usually discovered during a rectal or pelvic examination as a cystic lesion or discovered incidentally. Most of the symptoms are due to compression on the adjacent organs. In this paper, we present a case of an asymptomatic female patient who had a pelvic cyst detected during a routine obstetric ultrasound examination. We show radiological findings of the detailed postpartum evaluation of the cyst, which led to detection of sacral agenesis, huge anterior sacral meningocele, and significant arcuate uterus.
骶前脊膜膨出的特征是由于骶骨前方的发育性骨缺损导致脑膜囊疝出。它于1837年首次被描述。骶脊膜膨出可能是先天性的或后天获得性的。它通常在直肠或盆腔检查时作为囊性病变被发现，或偶然被发现。大多数症状是由于对相邻器官的压迫所致。在本文中，我们报告了一例无症状女性患者，她在常规产科超声检查中发现盆腔囊肿。我们展示了对该囊肿产后详细评估的影像学结果，这些结果导致发现骶骨发育不全、巨大的骶前脊膜膨出和明显的弓形子宫。
