Abstract

Lumbocostovertebral syndrome is a rare type of congenital lumbar hernia. Its features include lumbar hernia associated with genitourinary, vertebral, and rib anomalies. About 30 cases have been reported in the English literature, but in Korea, there has not been a case reported. We experienced a neonate with multiple costovertebral anomalies and bilateral lumbar hernia with liver and small intestine herniation diagnosed by physical examination and computed tomography. We report a case of a congenital lumbocostovertebral syndrome in neonate with literature review.
