Abstract
in English, Spanish

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.

El síndrome lumbocostovertebral se define por la presencia de hernia lumbar, hemivértebras y anomalías costales. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir el primer caso reportado en Argentina. El paciente fue comunicado a la Red Nacional de Anomalías Congénitas de Argentina. Se describe el cuadro clínico, los diagnósticos diferenciales y los posibles mecanismos patogénicos involucrados. Se sugiere que esta entidad sea considerada como una asociación. La hernia lumbar en un recién nacido es un hallazgo infrecuente y debe pesquisarse la presencia de otras anomalías asociadas.

Keywords: Congenital lumbar hernia; Infant; Lumbocostovertebral syndrome; Newborn.
