Caudal regression syndrome is rare, and malformations vary from isolated partial agenesis of the coccyx to lumbosacral agenesis. There is no gender predilection.

Most cases are sporadic; however, familial cases occasionally occur. An An association with VACTERL and Currarino triad syndromic complexes has been reported, but caudal regression syndrome with left isomerism is very rare and just reported in a few cases worldwide.
