Various types of masses may affect the presacral area in children. A presacral mass may be congenital or developmental or may arise from inflammation. The mass may have neural, vascular, lymphatic, or mesenchymal origins and may be primary (as in focal disease) or systemic (as in multifocal disease). Because the clinical manifestations of presacral masses are often nonspecific, imaging plays an important role in the detection and differentiation of these masses. Information obtained from imaging is also critical for management, especially for surgical planning. For these reasons, it is important that radiologists be familiar with the anatomy of the presacral region and with the imaging features of the various lesions that may occur in this region in children. For the accurate interpretation of findings, radiologists also must know the specific advantages and limitations of each of the imaging modalities used to evaluate this category of abnormalities.
