Abstract
The authors report a case of anterior sacral meningocele associated with a rectal fistula in a patient who had presented 20 years earlier with bacterial meningitis. To their knowledge, this is the first case in which a rectal fistula developed due to an anterior sacral meningocele. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this uncommon lesion is discussed.
