Article Synopsis
- - A newborn boy weighing 4500g was delivered via C-section at 41 weeks due to fetal distress, shortly after which he exhibited respiratory issues and required ventilation support, followed by convulsions diagnosed as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
- - Subsequent examination revealed firm, nodular lesions on his body, diagnosed as subcutaneous fat necrosis, accompanied by laboratory results indicating low levels of calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
- - Treatment involved vitamin and electrolyte supplementation, which led to improved calcium levels, but resulted in hypertriglyceridemia; after managing complications with medication, the infant showed complete recovery from fat necrosis and normalized growth by the end of two months.
The caudal regression syndrome is defined as total or partial agenesis of the sacrum and lumbar spine, frequently associated with other developmental malformations (orthopedic, neurological, genito-urinary, gastrointestinal…). Prenatal diagnosis is possible through fetal ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A case of fetal caudal regression syndrome with omphalocele from a diabetic mother is presented, demonstrating the sonographic, MRI, CT and X-Ray features diagnostic.
