Author ProfileAbstract
Lumbosacral agenesis is a rare and complex malformation characterized by
a total or partial absence of the lumbosacral vertebrae. It is often
associated with other malformations. Its etiology is poorly understood
but factors such as gestational diabetes, genetic abnormalities and
environmental factors are incriminated.
