Background and Importance: Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT) with medular invasion is rare.
Case Presentation: We report a case of an 11-month male infant, with no prenatal history of any abnormality, presenting since birth, a mass in the buttock extended to retrorectum associated with a right side hypotonic limb and monoplegia. Medullar and abdominal pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a sacrococcygeal tissue mass and intradural lumbosacral invasion with a high level of alpha-fetoprotein. Surgical excision was done successfully with an uneventful follow-up.
Conclusion: Despite of the intradural invasion, those SCT are in major cases mature and present low risk of malignancy or recurrence.
