Summary Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is well recognized in Marfan syndrome as a consequence of dural ectasia. Two cases presenting as non‐gynaecological pelvic masses are described highlighting the clinical difficulty in diagnosis and the classical radiological findings. The classification of ASM and associated anomalies of the sacrum are reviewed.
