A 6-year-old girl presented with intractable constipation. On investigation, she was found to have an association of anorectal stenosis, anterior sacral defect, and anterior meningocoele (Currarino's triad). The meningocoele was excised and a Duhamel pull-through procedure performed after resection of a massively distended rectosigmoid. Post-operatively, she started having spontaneous bowel action. Early diagnosis and management is recommended to avoid the high mortality and morbidity associated with this condition.
