    Summary

    This case study presents a rare variant of caudal regression and VATER syndromes, highlighting complex genitourinary anomalies in a 46XX individual. The findings emphasize the intricate relationship between spinal and urogenital development.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive medicine
    • Developmental biology
    • Clinical genetics

    Background:

    • Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) and VATER (Vertebral, Anal, Tracheo-esophageal, Renal, and Limb) association are complex congenital disorders.
    • These syndromes often involve multiple organ systems, with significant overlap and variability in presentation.

    Observation:

    • A patient with a normal 46XX karyotype presented with a unique constellation of urogenital anomalies.
    • Observed anomalies included a solitary pelvic kidney with megacalycosis, a high ureteral bud or diverticulum, and ectopic ureteral insertion into the proximal urethra.

    Findings:

    • The patient also exhibited sacral agenesis, vaginal atresia, aberrant gonadal tissue, and uterine agenesis.
    • This specific combination suggests a variant presentation potentially bridging CRS and VATER syndrome, with a strong emphasis on genitourinary malformations.

    Implications:

    • Understanding such variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling in congenital anomalies.
    • Further research into the genetic and developmental pathways underlying these overlapping syndromes is warranted.
    • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation of the genitourinary system in patients with suspected CRS or VATER association.
