Background:
Currarino syndrome is a non-frequently disease, presenting several malformations consisting of a triad: anal stenosis, sacrococcygeal malformation and presacral mass; its diagnosis is habitually performed in adulthood.
Objective:
To report a case diagnosed with Currarino syndrome in the fetal stage.
Case report:
A 22-week gestation male fetus with Currarino syndrome, at necropsy he was found to have: sacrococcygeal defect (total absence of the sacrum), presacral mass or tumors (cystic appearance), non-perforated anus and absence of intergluteal fold, sigmoid stenosis and single scrotal pouch, single, pelvic and polycystic kidney, with exit of 2 ureters.
Conclusions:
Currarino syndrome is characterized by a triad of appearances, in many cases it can be overlooked and underdiagnosed, so early detection can prevent complications in adulthood and improve life quality.
