Abstract
The article presents an autosomal dominant Currarino syndrome with incomplete penetrance in three out of four members of the same family. The mother had only a bony sacral defect and no other signs. In the older daughter, the syndrome was completely developed with presacral cystic teratoma, a sacral defect and abdominal discomfort. The younger daughter had no clinical or imaging features of the disease. The only son harboured presacral meningocele, urinary stenosis and a sacral defect. The daughter and son with developed variants of the syndrome were successfully operated on and are now symptom free.
