Abstract :

Caudal Regression Syndrome (CRS) is a rare syndrome occurs when sacrum or lowest part of spine does not form fully in utero. The actual cause is known although there is a relation with maternal diabetes. The incidence is one in 25,000 live births. The diagnosis can be made by ultrasound in first trimester of pregnancy and postnatal MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
