Abstract
A description of the case of prenatal diagnosis of caudal regression syndrome at 15 weeks of pregnancy is presented. The description of ultrasound markers, stages of prenatal ultrasound diagnostics, taking into account the complications from external factors is given. The diagnosis is based on the basic signs characteristic of this syndrome. Due to the caudal regression syndrome's severe form, the family decided to terminate the pregnancy. Pathomorphological and postmortal X-ray examination of the abortus confirmed the echographic changes identified in the prenatal period.
