Abstract:

We report a case of sirenomelia baby (Mermaid syndrome) born to a twenty three years old female at 37 weeks of gestation. Sirenomelia is characterized by fusion of the lower limbs with absent kidneys, absent external genitalia and other gastrointestinal defects. It results from the failure of normal vascular supply from the lower aorta in vitro, maternal Diabetes mellitus has been associated with caudal regression syndrome and sirenomelia.

Sirenomelia, also known as mermaid syndrome, is an extremely rare congenital disorder involving the lower spine and lower limbs. We present a case of a grand multiparous with poorly controlled gestational diabetes who delivered a live baby weighing 2.43 kg at 38 weeks’ gestation. The baby was noted to have significant respiratory distress, and resuscitation was promptly commenced. Severe congenital abnormalities indicative of sirenomelia were obvious and after availability of antenatal records which indicated an extremely poor prognosis, resuscitative efforts were aborted. The baby was handed

Sirenomelia, which is also known as mermaid syndrome, is an extremely rare congenital developmental disorder characterized by anomalies of the lower spine and the lower limbs. Affected infants are born with partial or complete fusion of the legs1. Additional malformations may also occur including genitourinary abnormalities, gastrointestinal abnormalities, anomalies of the lumbarsacral spine and pelvis and absence or underdevelopment (agenesis) of one or both kidneys. Affected infants may have one foot, no feet or both feet, which may be rotated externally. The tailbone is usually absent and t

ABSTRACT Introduction Sirenomelia is a congenital structural anomaly characterized by abnormal development of the caudal region of the body. The peculiar characteristics of sirenomelia are complete fusion of bilateral lower limbs giving the fetus an appearance of mermaid. The other anatomical defects may be renal agenesis, gastrointestinal defects, and absent external genitalia. The outcome of the condition is usually fatal for the baby despite attempts for corrective surgery. This abnormality was initially confused with caudal regression syndrome, but later was given a new name, i.e., sirenom

Here we report a preterm neonate with fusion of the lower limbs. The baby was born by cesarean section to a 27-year-old primigravida mother at 35 weeks and 3 days’ gestation. There was no maternal history of hypertension, heart disease, asthma, or diabetes mellitus.

Sirenomelia also known as mermaid syndrome is a partial or complete fusion of lower extremities associated with visceral anomalies. It is a rare anomaly with a poor prognosis. Maternal age less than 20 years, maternal diabetes mellitus, and monozygotic twinning are some of the known risk factors. Diagnosis can be made via antenatal ultrasound or typical physical appearance after birth. A 2200 g baby was born from 18-year-old non-consanguineous mother via assisted breech delivery. The baby had fused lower limbs with 10 toes, absent external genitalia, and a single umbilical artery. It was small

Sirenomelia also called mermaid syndrome is a congenital, rare, lethal, multisystemic human malformation of unknown etiology. The characteristic feature of sirenomelia is the fusion of the lower limbs, resulting in the appearance of a mermaid’s tail, and thus the name “mermaid syndrome.” This condition is also characterized by various severe urogenital abnormalities and the presence of a singular umbilical cord blood vessel, and it is more common in infants of diabetic mothers and in monozygotic twins. The incidence is around 1 in 60,000–70,000 pregnancies. The majority of affected fetuses are

Abstract:

Sirenomelia, also known as mermaid syndrome, is a rare constellation of anomalies of caudal fetal development associated with fusion or complete absence of the lower limbs. The prognosis for neonatal survival is poor. Diagnosing this condition can pose a challenge due to associated oligo/anhydramnios. First-trimester transvaginal and transabdominal anatomy ultrasound performed between 11-13.6 weeks of gestational age (WGA) can evaluate fetal anatomy for anomalies. Transvaginal (TVUS) ultrasound offers the best opportunity to detect this condition. We present a case of a 1240g baby born from a

AbstractBackgroundSirenomelia, also called mermaid syndrome, is a rare lethal multi-system congenital deformity with an incidence of one in 60,000–70,000 pregnancies. Sirenomelia is mainly characterized by the fusion of lower limbs and is widely associated with severe urogenital and gastrointestinal malformations. The presence of a single umbilical artery derived from the vitelline artery is the main anatomical feature distinguishing sirenomelia from caudal regression syndrome. First-trimester diagnosis of this disorder and induced abortion may be the safest medical option. In this report, two
