Sacral Skin Tag

Skin tags in the sacral area are also potential indicators of spinal dysraphism. In some cases, the "tag" may in actuality be a residual tail. This skin tag was quite small and appeared to be very superficial, but spinal ultrasound was still done as a screening measure. In this case, the ultrasound was normal and no further testing was needed.
