There is a half-transparent cyst-like mass in the pediatric coccyx area. I would like to ask if it is...

Patient's question:

At three days old, it was discovered that there was a slightly translucent, slightly protruding bump about 2 centimeters above the upper coccyx, similar to a cyst.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to your introduction, the child suffers from "spinal bifida, meningocele, and tethered spinal cord syndrome" and needs surgical treatment as soon as possible. The surgery can prevent the condition from progressing further. If the child currently has no symptoms, the surgery can be curative.
