Abstract
Anterior lumbar- sacral meningocele is an uncommon type of spinal dysraphism, which can occasionally be linked to syndromes like Currarino and Marfan syndromes. While neurological complications are infrequent with these lesions, secondary conditions such as meningitis, sepsis, obstetric issues, and bowel and bladder difficulties are frequently observed. Surgical intervention is the established treatment approach for symptomatic or enlarging masses since these lesions do not typically resolve spontaneously. Repairing the dural defect can be achieved using either anterior or posterior surgical approaches.
