    Summary

    Caudal regression syndrome involves sacral dysgenesis and neuro-urological issues. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment of this lower neuron lesion improve outcomes and reduce incontinence hardships.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Neuro-Urology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) presents with varying degrees of sacral dysgenesis and associated neuro-urological pathology.
    • Understanding the correlation between skeletal anomalies and functional deficits is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a classification of sacral dysgenesis within CRS.
    • To correlate neuro-urological pathology with sacral anomalies.
    • To review diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for improving patient prognosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of caudal regression syndrome.
    • Analysis of ten patient cases with sacral dysgenesis and neuro-urological deficits.
    • Classification based on observed osteological and neurological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Sacral anomalies (numerical and structural) and neuro-urological defects occur to different extents, leading to diagnosis at various ages.
    • The predominant neurogenic bladder disturbance is characterized as a 'lower neuron lesion'.
    • Disturbances of the rectum and lower extremities are irregularly correlated with the primary findings.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured diagnostic approach is essential for identifying the specific type of neurogenic bladder lesion.
    • Tailored conservative or surgical therapies, based on lesion type, enhance upper urinary tract protection and mitigate incontinence-related social burdens.
    • Early and accurate management strategies significantly improve the overall prognosis for patients with caudal regression syndrome.
