Caudal regression syndrome is a rare congenital malformation syndrome characterized by an abnormal development with varying degrees of the sacral and coccygeal vertebrae associated an other malformations: anorectal, vertebral, urogenital and abnormalities of the lower limbs. We report a case type 2 caudal regression syndrome with late onset in a 10 year-old girl followed for neurological bladder, referred to us for lumbar MRI which objectified the absence of the S4, S5 and coccyx vertebrae. Prenatal diagnosis is possible by obstetric ultrasound and fetal MRI, allowing early management and preventing renal failure. The early diagnosis must be in prenatal made by obstetric ultrasound and fetal MRI, or even a postnatal diagnostic make in front of a neurological bladder allowing adequat management and preventing renal failure.
