ABSTRACT
Anterior sacral meningocele is a rare congenital lesion. Since its description by Bryant in 1838, less than 300 cases have been reported in the literature. The authors report a case of anterior sacral meningocele with pneumocephalus and meningitis, which was misdiagnosed as an ovarian cyst and was aspirated. The clinical, radiological, histopathological, and neurosurgical features of the lesion are discussed with a review of the literatures.
Key Words: Anterior sacral meningocele; Pneumocephalus; Meningitis
