title: Tetra-amelia with lung hypoplasia and facial clefts, Roberts-SC syndrome: report of two cases.
abstract: Although limb anomalies are a common clinical problem, they are rarely studied. The spectrum of limb anomalies ranges from very mild disorders such as syndactyly to very severe forms such as absent limb (amelia). Tetra-amelia is a rare anomaly with complete or partial deficiency of all four limbs. It may be isolated or associated with other anomalies. Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome comprises four limb deficiencies, lung hypoplasia, facial clefts and other anomalies. We describe two cases that presented to us.
