Resumen

Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) is a congenital malformation with a low incidence in the general population. The true pathogenesis is unknown although there is a clear relation with maternal diabetes. Prenatal diagnosis and imaging studies allow for reliable recognition and diagnosis. The physical exam and the diagnostic test necessary in the newborn period allow for the identification of likely complications and establishing a prognosis. We present a clinical case of a female neonate with a prenatal diagnosis of CRS, describing the workup and management of this patient.
