Giant intrasacral meningocele: a case report

Melih Bozkurt et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2013 Nov.

Abstract

A peculiar case of intrasacral meningocele and spinal cord tethering is reported. Contents of the intrasacral meningocele and importance of CSF flow analyses with MRI are discussed. Demonstration of CSF flow from the thecal sac to meningocele in the CSF flow MR imaging may be helpful for determining the possibility of meningocele growth. In this report, we have presented the determination of CSF flow as a new surgical indication in this type of cases.
