We present a 21-year-old female patient with partial sacral agenesis and faecal incontinence (FI), treated with sacral neuromodulation (SNM). This patient has a polymalformative syndrome. When she was 15, she underwent radical surgery with anal reconstruction for her anterior ectopic anus. She had a St. Mark's incontinence score of 15/24 when being assessed at our centre, with episodes of urge incontinence, soiling and an irregular depositional pattern with liquid stools.
