Abstract

Lumbosacral agenesis is a rare and complex malformation characterized by a total or partial absence of the lumbosacral vertebrae. It is often associated with other congenital malformations. Its etiology is poorly understood but factors such as gestational diabetes, genetic abnormalities and environmental factors are incriminated. We report the case of a female infant, 11 months old, who presented with lumbosacral agenesis. As our hospital was less equipped to deal with this complex malformation, we transferred the infant to another better equipped hospital.
