The patient remained in bed rest for about 5 days, the lumbar drain remain open for 2 days. She was mobilized on day 3 and noted to be full strength on motor examination,  with no bowel or bladder problems. With  further improvement of the symptomatology, she remained hospitalized for 7 days and was discharged without any complications. After 3 months post surgery an MRI (Figure \ref{fig:FIGURE_2}) was made, revealing complete remission of the anterior sacral meningocele and the compression of the pelvic structures. Although the abdomino-pelvic symptoms disappear, the lumbar pain remained with lower intensity probably caused by the severe scoliosis that the patient had.
