    Author: Zhang Y, Sun C, Jiang C, Zhao W, Wang W, Cao Q, Ge S.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2019 Feb; 36(2):415-418. PubMed ID: 30685882.
    Abstract:
    Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) is a rare congenital malformation with varying degrees of early gestational developmental failure. It is characterized by agenesis of the sacrum and lumbar spine, with lower limb neurological deficit and accompanying deformities of the pelvis, lower extremities, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal systems. We report a case of CRS associated with rare complex congenital heart defect, that is, heterotaxy syndrome, diagnosed prenatally.
