Caudal Regression Syndrome: A Case Report

Caudal regression syndrome is a rare malformation syndrome that involves varying degrees of agenesis of the sacral and coccygeal vertebrae, along with shortening of the lower limbs, and gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiovascular anomalies. Its precise cause remains unknown, although its association with maternal diabetes is well established. We present a rare case of this syndrome in a one-month-old newborn whose mother has known diabetes and who also presents with anorectal malformation syndrome.
