Abstract
Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) or sacral agenesis is a rarely seen malformation with a varying degree of structural abnormalities, including multiorgan system dysfunctions, reported with higher incidence among children of mothers with diabetes, as in this case. Spinal anomalies can range from coccyx hemiagenesis to the total absence of lower lumbar vertebrae and sacrum in most severe cases. Herein, we have presented a 9-year-old patient with CRS who had renal failure. Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy revealed bilaterally non-functioning kidneys with no renal cortical uptake. Renal anomalies in CRS with vertebral, anorectal, cardiac, trachea-esophageal, renal, and limb anomalies association include one-sided renal agenesis, multicystic dysplastic kidneys, and ureter duplications.
