Caudal regression syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the caudal pole, characterized by variable involvement of the lumbosacral spine, terminal spinal cord, and pelvic structures, often associated with urogenital and gastrointestinal anomalies [1,2]. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl evaluated for secondary enuresis associated with encopresis evolving over one year in an afebrile setting. Spinal MRI revealed caudal regression syndrome. This case highlights that a caudal malformation should be suspected in children presenting with urinary and anorectal disorders, even when the presentation is delayed, and emphasizes the major role of MRI in the assessment of associated spinal cord and osteorachidian abnormalities [3-5].
