title: Dorsolumbosacral agenesis.
abstract: Caudal regression is a rare congenital spinal anomaly characterized by partial or total agenesis of the sacral and/or lumbar spine. Sacral and/or lumbosacral agenesis has been well described. However, especially as far as MRI studies are concerned, thoracolumbosacral agenesis has rarely been reported.
