Abstract
Caudal dysplasia sequence (CDS) comprises developmental anomalies of the caudal vertebrae, neural tube, urogenital and digestive organs, and hind limbs, the precursors of all of which are derived from the caudal eminence. Although the syndrome is well recognized, the etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms are poorly understood. We report syringomyelia in association with the CDS, which has not been described previously and recommends inclusion of this entity in the spectrum of abnormalities encountered in this syndrome.
