Introduction: Currarino Syndrome (CS) is a rare entity characterized by a triad of sacral agenesis, anorectal malformations, and pre-sacral masses. CS is typically diagnosed during the first decade of life. Case Description: We present a rare case of incomplete Currarino syndrome manifesting in a 36-year-old lady who presented with back pain, urinary retention, anal paresthesia, and lower limb weakness. The patient underwent multiple laminectomies and partial resection of an epidermoid cyst and regained function. Conclusion: Although rare, the possibility of Currarino syndrome should be entertained in adult patients with lower lumbosacral symptoms and a pre-sacral mass. A thorough physical examination and strategic pre-operative planning are mandatory to maximize patient outcomes.
