Caudal regression syndrome and a pelvic kidney: case report.

Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) is a rare congenital variation. A high incidence of renal and genitourinary malformations has been observed in patients with CRS, with the most common being neurogenic bladder and renal agenesis. We report a rare case report documenting both CRS and a pelvic kidney found during a diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging. Although renal anatomy variants are found in patients with CRS, a pelvic kidney is normally not part of the constellation of findings in this malformation. As seen in our patient, a pelvic kidney should be considered in patients suspected of having CRS.
