Abstract:
Sacral agenesis is a rare condition. This syndrome was first described by Hohl in 1852 and is usually associated with other anomalies such as vertebral deformities, deformed hypoplastic legs, urologic and gastrointestinal problems. We have experienced two cases of this deformity; one with partial sacral agenesis, and the other with partial lumbar agenesis and complete absence of sacrum.
