The pelvis is composed of 3 paired bones (ischiac, pubic and iliac bones) and the sacrum. Any part of the pelvis can be congeni tally absent, but the sacrum is the most commonly affected. The absence can be partial or complete; unilateral or bilateral and can occur in an isolated fashion or be part of a malformation syndrome.
