ALBARRACIN, María de los A et al. Lumbocostovertebral syndrome: first case report in Argentina. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.117, n.4, pp.e377-e381. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2019.e377.

Lumbocostovertebral syndrome is defined by the presence of lumbar hernia, hemivertebrae and costal anomalies. Our aim was to describe the first case reported in Argentina. The patient was reported to the National Registry of Congenital Anomalies of Argentina. The clinical picture, differential diagnoses and possible pathogenic mechanisms involved are described. We suggest considering this as a lumbocostovertebral association. Lumbar hernia in a newborn is an infrequent finding and other associated anomalies should be evaluated.

Palabras clave : Lumbocostovertebral syndrome; Congenital lumbar hernia; Newborn; Infant.
