Caudal Regression Syndrome

چکیده
Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) is a rare neural tube defect affecting terminal spinal segments and cord manifesting as neurological deficit ranging from bladder and bowel involvement to severe sensory motor deficits in lower limbs. It has sporadic appearance and maternal diabetes, genetic factors, teratogens and hypoperfusion are considered as possible etiologic factors and it can be associated with other congenital anamolies. It is generally diagnosed by antenatal sonography or in early childhood. In this paper we report a case of caudal regression syndrome diagnosed at age of 12 yrs with minimal neurological deficits.

The caudal regression syndrome is defined as total or partial agenesis of the sacrum and lumbar spine, frequently associated with other developmental malformations (orthopedic, neurological, genito-urinary, gastrointestinal…). Prenatal diagnosis is possible through fetal ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A case of fetal caudal regression syndrome with omphalocele from a diab...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of Caudal Regression Syndrome : a case report
BACKGROUND: Caudal regression is a rare syndrome which has a spectrum of congenital malformations ranging from simple anal atresia to absence of sacral, lumbar and possibly lower thoracic vertebrae, to the most severe form which is known as sirenomelia. Maternal diabetes, genetic predisposition and vascular hypoperfusion have been suggested as possible causative factors. CASE PRESENTATION: We r...
