Postnatal Diagnosis of Sacral Agenesis with Cerebral Atrophy: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Caudal regression syndrome (CRS), also called sacral agenesis is a rare disorder with a spectrum of congenital malformations ranging from simple anal atresia to absence of sacral, lumbar and possibly lower thoracic vertebra. It has an overall incidence of 1 in 60,000 live births. Case Report: We present a postnatal diagnosed case of CRS, delivered at 36 weeks gestation to a multigravida with poorly controlled gestational diabetes. We highlight the associated findings, which include arthrogryposis, cerebebral atrophy, urogenital and cardiac lesions. Conclusion: Sacral agenesis is an uncommon entity; the management is quite challenging, requiring multi-disciplinary intervention. The outcome depends on the spectrum and severity of abnormalities.
