The Currarino Triad
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 4
Abstract
Currarino triad (syndrome) is an extremely rare condition, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 100,000,1 and only about 300 cases reported worldwide so far.2 It is a type of caudal regression syndrome in association with anorectal malformation (ARM), characterized by a triad of presacral mass, sacrococcygeal bone defect, and ARM.3 In view of rarity of this condition, we report an infant, who presented with progressively worsening constipation and was detected to have a complete form of Currarino triad.
