Abstract

Body stalk anomaly is a rare congenital anomaly, its etiology, pathophysiology and    predisposing factors are not yet known. It is a combination of multiple development  abnormalities including body wall defect and can be associated with spine, limb defects. It can
be associated with multiple syndromes like amniotic band syndrome, Limb body wall complex. We represent a case of body stalk deformity at a gestation of 13 weeks which was proven post   termination of pregnancy. Body stalk anomaly is a type of Limb Body Wall Complex and should be differentiated from other body wall defect as its prognosis is poor as compared to individual body wall defect.
