Common presentations include infection, meningitis, and obstetric problems. Typically presenting with mass effect symptoms secondary to a presacral cystic mass ¹⁾

Owing to its occult nature, these lesions are usually present later in life. These could present with constipation, urological symptoms, or rarely neurological symptoms. More than three-fourths of cases are seen in women of reproductive age who are more likely to have a diagnosis of asymptomatic ASM during a pelvic examination. In this group of patients, ASM may lead to infertility and difficult labor.

Young children mostly present with chronic constipation or retention of urine ²⁾.
