ABSTRACT

The Currarino syndrome is an autosomal dominant partial sacral agenesis involving sacral vertebrae S2 to S5, with presevation of the S1 vertebrae. In the most severe form of the syndrome, the sacral agenesis is associated to presacral mass, anorrectal and urogenital malformations. Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital malformation of the hindgut determined by the absence if parasympathetic intrinsic ganglion cells in the submucosal and myenteric plexuses. We present a case of a 3 years old male child affected from Currarino syndrome associated to Hirschprung's disease.


El Síndrome de Currarino consiste en agenesia sacra parcial de herencia genética autosómica dominante parcial, que afecta las vértebras sacras S2 a S5, preservándose S1. En la forma más severa del síndrome, a la agenesia sacra se asocian masa presacra y malformaciones anorrectales y urogenitales. La enfermedad de Hirschsprung es una malformación congénita del intestino grueso debida a la ausencia de células ganglionares intrínsecas parasimpáticas de la submucosa y de los plexos mientéricos. Presentamos el caso de un niño de 3 años con Síndrome de Currarino asociado a enfermedad de Hirschsprung.
