[Caudal regression syndrome associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome].
In this paper, one case of syndrome of caudal suppression associated with a syndrome of Klippel Feil is discussed. It concerned a 14 years old boy, born form a diabetic mother with congenital abnormalities such as: urinary incontinence, facial dysmorphia, a short neck, an arachnodactylia, a lumbar kyphosis, a permanent flexion of the knee, a kalipe cavus, the spine, a partial agenesis of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae a total agenesis of the fifth and sacrum; This syndrome is infrequent and the pathophysiological mechanisms are still under discussion and no therapeutic strategy is proposed. This case offers an opportunity to the authors to make review of the medical literature on this subject. They emphasized on the interest to look for a vertebro-medullary malformation every time a child comes to us with walking problem or enuresia, this fact should be enforced when mother is diabetic.
