- Title
EP05.47: A case report of a Currarino syndrome in a fetus.
- Authors
Wang, L.; Liu, Y.
- Abstract
This article discusses a case report of a fetus with Currarino syndrome, a rare hereditary disease caused by a mutation in the MNX1 gene. The fetus showed a suspicious sacral defect and a possible low conus medullaris position on prenatal ultrasound. The main symptoms of Currarino syndrome include a sacrococcygeal defect, sacral anterior mass, and anorectal malformation. It is important to differentiate Currarino syndrome from other conditions such as caudal regression syndrome and sirenomelia sequence. The article highlights that sacrococcygeal defect and low conus medullaris position are important clues for identifying Currarino syndrome.
