Caudal regression syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized by absence of the lower spine to a varying degree. It has particularly high incidence in patients with Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM). We report a case of caudal regression syndrome in a newly diagnosed case of IDDM at 30 weeks of gestation.
