Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Lumbocostovertebral syndrome (LCVS) is a rare type of congenital lumbar hernia. Its features include lumbar hernia associated with genitourinary, vertebral, and rib anomalies. Less than 25 cases have been reported to date. We describe the clinical manifestations and associated anomalies in 6 cases of LCVS managed by us. The patients with suspected LCVS syndrome should be evaluated by detailed clinical history, examination, conventional radiography, magnetic resonance imaging spine, ultrasound abdomen, and echocardiography. The defect can be repaired using local tissues in infancy. There is a need for long-term follow-up for possible late recurrence and scoliosis.
