| Popis: | We report a case of sacral fracture complicated by an intrasacral meningocele in a 37-year-old male. The patient had a left sacral fracture with bilateral fractures of the superior and inferior pubic rami. The sacrum was fixed with a posterior plate and both superior pubic rami were fixed with an intramedullary screw. However, computed tomography myelogram and magnetic resonance imaging showed the intrasacral meningocele with the leakage of the cerebrospinal fluid into the buttocks and developed delayed union. Reoperation utilizing a strong anterior and posterior internal fixation combined with posterior bone grafting was undertaken and bone union was obtained. |
