چکیده
Sacral agenesis belongs to spectrum of aplastic vertebral malformations ranging from agenesis of coccyx to lower thoracic vertebrae and the term sacral agenesis has been used synonymously with caudal regression syndrome. Higher the defect, severe is the neurological deficit. Mangeau and Leclaire described a patient with ninth thoracic vertebra as the lowest segment(l). Sacral agenesis is more common in the infants born to diabetic mothers. Sacral agenesis has been reported rarely in Indian literature(2).
