# Conclusion Conclusions  We present an interesting case of a large anterior sacral meningocele. Although meningoceles are rare, they can have serious complications and therefore should not be overlooked. Imaging is critical, but a carefully obtained medical history can reveal important clues. Surgery is generally advised, and multiple approaches are available. Each approach must be carefully considered and the decision made on the basis of the specific surgical goals, on a case-by-case basis. Although the posterior approach remains the treatment of choice for most lesions, we believe that the anterior laparotomy provides excellent exposure and is a safe alternative approach for the treatment of large lesions. Patients with these lesions should be cared for by a multidisciplinary team that involves neurosurgeons and colorectal surgeons initially and then a genetic specialist and obstetrician for further complete evaluation postoperatively.
