The patient was then referred to our
practice, a department. A complete physical
and neurological examination was
made, she made. The patient mainly
complain complained of lower abdominal pain with overflow incontinence, sciatic pain in both legs with a predominance on the left side, and mechanical lower lumbar pain. The neurological examination showed no motor deficits
in the at lower extremities with preservation of tone and
reflexes, sensitivity reflexes. Sensitivity was patchy in both legs around L5 and S1 dermatomes, but resulted quite inconsistent. An MRI (Figure \ref{fig:FIGURE_1}) showed an anterior pre-sacral cyst eroding the anterior wall of S2 and S3, herniating through an
anterior sacral defect. The collection measured
around 10x9cm, exerting compression on
pelvic structures such as the rectum and the bladder in a significant way.
Due to these
symptoms pelvic
symptoms and the presence of a growing
mass mass, a new surgical procedure consisting in a posterior sacral laminectomy and ligation of the meningocele cyst was proposed. We believe
that this approach
was is appropriate
in order to get a correct exposure of the cyst neck.
Initially, the patient was very unkeen in further surgery, particularly after the results of the previous ones, however, she was so ill that she accepted surgery.
