“…This syndrome has been reported to stem from the HLXB9 gene mutations on the chromosome 7. Therefore, presacral masses and sacral ageneses w/o anorectal anomalies are suggestive of possible familial CS [ 5 ].…”

Currarino syndrome (triad) is an extremely rare condition characterized by presacral mass, anorectal malformation, and sacral bone deformation. The complete form of this syndrome displays all three irregularities. Herein, we report a male case who was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of urinary system infection and persistent constipation 2 years after colostomy operation performed with the indication of rectovestibular fistula and anal atresia, diagnosed as Currarino syndrome based on imaging modalities. In a patient who was admitted because of the presence of anal atresia, in order to preclude potential complications, probable concomitancy of this syndrome should not be forgotten. Early diagnosis is important for the prevention of meningitis, urinary tract infections, and malignant change.

Background: This study sought to analyze the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of the classical triad elements and the associated anomalies in pediatric complete Currarino syndrome (CS) to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the 2 different imaging methods in displaying the abnormalities of this disease. Methods:The clinical and radiological features of 32 pediatric patients with complete CS diagnosed histologically and/or radiologically were retrospectively analyzed.Results: All 32 complete CS patients presented with the classical triad of congenital anorectal malformation (ARM), sacral agenesis, and presacral mass. Anal atresia, which is the most common congenital ARM, was observed in 19 of the 32 patients (59.4%). Sacral agenesis was mainly type IV (75%). Among the presacral masses, true tumors and pseudotumors accounted for about half each. All of the 15 true tumors were presacral teratomas. 25 patients had associated anomalies, including tethered cord, filum lipoma, and hydronephrosis. 24 patients underwent both CT and MRI examinations. While CT was better than MRI in displaying sacral anomaly (P<0.05), MRI was more sensitive than CT at detecting presacral mass, spinal dysraphism, and congenital anal atresia (P<0.05).Conclusions: CT and MRI have different efficiencies at displaying the abnormalities of the complete CS.As a non-invasive method, MRI has significant advantages in diagnosing complete CS, especially in revealing the details of ARM, presacral mass, and associated spinal dysraphism.
