What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Caudal Regression Syndrome?

I am a 32 year old female with caudal regression syndrome/sacral agenesis. I would like to learn more about my condition and how it affects my body as I haven t seen a doctor about it as an adult. I have to self-catheterize, but have no idea how much of my sacrum is missing. How can I find a doctor in my region that specializes in seeing patients affected by this? So far, I haven t found a doctor that is very familiar with CRS/SA.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

You are right on the fact that this is a rare condition. I would like to directly review your spine MRI report. Consulting with a neurologist for a neurological exam is necessary. Consulting with a neurosurgeon may be needed, based on your MRI report.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions!
Kind regards!
