If your child has : (1) never been able to control her bowels & bladder for 6 mos., (2)low muscle tone in her legs & (3) ⬇ed sensation in her lower body parts, an uncommon possible cause for all 3 is caudal regression syndrome, congenital malformations of the lower spinal cord, vertebrae & sacrum (the triangular pelvic bone of five fused vertebrae).
