Caudal regression syndrome is an extremely rare clinical entity. It is a challenge to anesthesiologist due to its multisystem involvement. Regional anesthesia literature on caudal regression syndrome is scarce. We report three cases where optimal use of ultrasonography aided in providing satisfactory peri-operative pain relief. Furthermore, a cogent and a logical review of the decision-making processes for the regional blockade in children with caudal regression syndrome are presented.
