Sirenomelia: a case report.
Sirenomelia is a rare and interesting congenital anomaly where there is fusion of the lower limb buds in association with a number of other anomalies, together termed as the caudal regression syndrome. We report this syndrome in a male foetus of 33 weeks gestational age, and review its embryological basis.
