There was no observed swelling, discolouration, or deformity visualized over the gluteal or
sacrococcygeal region.
She said one child out of 30,000 babies is born with the
Sacrococcygeal Teratoma tumour.
Disease that should be remembered:
Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease and short history.
Karydakis procedure should be the preferred method in treatment of
sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus.
2,10 Chordomas of the mobile spine metastasize more often than
sacrococcygeal lesions.
The tumor, they told her, was a
sacrococcygeal teratoma, a rare tumor affecting one of up to 70,000 births.
The abdominal procedure is performed in the Lloyd-Davies position, and the dissection follows total mesorectal excision (TME) principles, down to the
sacrococcygeal junction posteriorly and to the level of the upper part of the prostate anteriorly in males, or the first few centimetres of the vagina anteriorly in females.
CIFS occurrence in the
sacrococcygeal region mimicking a
sacrococcygeal teratoma has been reported, [3] and such presentation is generally uncommon.
The caudal block can block
sacrococcygeal nerves which in nervatethe whole perineum involving the perianal region, rectum and prostate gland, so it can consequently decrease pain related to TRUS probe introduction and biopsy.
The teratoma sites of predilection are the
sacrococcygeal (60-65%), gonadal (10-20%), mediastinal (5-10%), presacral (5%), retroperitoneal, cervical, and rarely the intracranial regions.
5,6) Their anatomic distribution varies widely and includes the mediastinum, (7)
sacrococcygeal region, (8) neck, retrobulbar, (9) retroperitoneum, (10) and other rare sites.
