Currarino Syndrome – Autopsy Features of a Rare Case
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract:Currarino syndrome is a triad of congenital malformations of the hindgut characterised by presacral mass, sacral bone agenesis and anorectal malformation. HLXBg gene has been identified as the major causative gene in Currarino syndrome. The condition is very rare and has a familial predisposition with an autosomal dominant inheritance .We report autopsy features of Currarino syndrome in an 18 weeks fetus, to highlight its clinical features and to provide accurate information for further genetic counselling. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach are essential which help to reduce the morbidity and mortality related to Currarino syndrome.
