A sacral dimple (also termed pilonidal dimple or spinal dimple) is a small depression in the skin, located just above the buttocks. The name comes from the sacrum, the bone at the end of the spine, over which the dimples are found. Sacral dimples are often spotted in post-natal checks by pediatricians, who can check: * whether the floor of the dimple is covered with skin; * whether there is a tuft of hair in the dimple; * whether there are potentially related problems such as weak lower limbs; * the distance from the buttocks to the dimple (closer is better).

  • Das Sakralgrübchen (auch Steißbeingrübchen) ist eine Einbuchtung in der Haut zwischen After und Kreuzbein (Os sacrum). Es kann, vor allem bei Neugeborenen, aussehen wie ein zweiter After. Medizinisch relevant ist, dass hier der Wirbelkanal verlängert oder offen sein kann. Solange die Wirbelsäule nicht offen ist und das Rückenmark unbehindert in der Rückenmarksflüssigkeit schwimmt (z. B. keine Verklebung), ist dies im Regelfall medizinisch unbedenklich. (de)

  • A sacral dimple (also termed pilonidal dimple or spinal dimple) is a small depression in the skin, located just above the buttocks. The name comes from the sacrum, the bone at the end of the spine, over which the dimples are found. Sacral dimples are rare, occurring in up to 4% of the population. Most of these cases are minor and do not relate to any underlying medical problem, but they can result from disease, notably spina bifida. If so, this is usually the spina bifida occulta form, which is the least serious kind. A sacral dimple could also indicate a kidney problem of a kind that can be checked with an ultrasound. Sacral dimples are often spotted in post-natal checks by pediatricians, who can check: * whether the floor of the dimple is covered with skin; * whether there is a tuft of hair in the dimple; * whether there are potentially related problems such as weak lower limbs; * the distance from the buttocks to the dimple (closer is better).
