Abstract

Caudal regression syndrome is a rare congenital malformation and can be associated with lower limb and renal anomalies. However caudal regression syndrome and cleft lip and palate (CLP) rarely occur together, the prevalence of sacral anomalies in children with CLP being 0.1%. We hereby report an eighteen month old male child with sporadic lumbosacral agenesis type III with tethered cord, hypospadias, unilateral renal agenesis and CLP for its rarity.

Keywords

Sacral agenesis - tethered cord - unilateral renal agenesis
