Abstract
Sirenomelia (mermaid syndrome) is a rare congenital anomaly with characteristic feature of complete or partial fusion of lower limbs. Although, this syndrome is incompatible with life due to the association of several congenital visceral abnormalities; however, there are few reports of surviving infants [1]. Here, we are reporting a case was a live born, normally delivered at term by a 27-year-old third gravida of lower socioeconomic status. Examination of the baby revealed caudal dysgenesis having fusion of lower limbs, single leg with 1 foot and 5 toes. There was no identifiable external genitalia and anus.
Keywords: Sirenomelia; Caudal Regression Syndrome; Mermaid Syndrome; Potter’s Facies.
