Anterior sacral meningocoele is caused by a congenital hiatus in the anterior sacrum. We report a very rare case which presented as acute urinary retention. The common findings of anterior sacral meningocele include atypical low back pain, urological and gynaecological symptoms. Acute urinary retention as a presenting symptom does not appear to have been mentioned in the English literature.
