Abstract

Currarino syndrome is a disorder that has been first reported by Currarino and his coworkers in 1981 as a syndorome having three characteristics, namely, malfomation of the rectum, defect of the sacrum, and presacral tumor. Autosomal gene dominant inheritance is considered in the disorder and it has been reported that about the patients with the disease have family members with some malformation relating to the Currarino syndrome in family history. This paper deals with Currarino syndrome occurred in a father and his child. As to malformation of the rectum, stricture of the rectum is most common like in this father-and-child case. We must perform close examination by keeping the disease in mind as a probable diagnosis in the case of stricture of the rectum.
