Abstract
Diabetic embryopathy is defined as congenital anomalies that are linked to maternal diabetes. The association between diabetes and fetal, neonatal, and long-term complications is well-established. These complications include organ or structural maldevelopment, fetal growth abnormalities, and learning/psychiatric comorbidities. Recent studies have elucidated the pathophysiology behind these conditions and outlined new management approaches. Caudal regression syndrome, also known as sacral agenesis, is a well-known but less described complication of maternal diabetes. The purpose of this review is to summarize existing research on common neonatal morbidities in infants of mothers with diabetes with a focus on caudal regression syndrome and its long-term associations.
