A Very Rare Cause of Anal Atresia: Currarino Syndrome

Abstract

Currarino syndrome (triad) is an extremely rare condition charac-terized 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 in-dication of rectovestibular fistula and anal atresia, diagnosed as Cur-rarino 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 preven-tion of meningitis, urinary tract infections, and malignant change.
