摘要
Sirenomelia, also known as the mermaid syndrome, is a rare congenital malformation of uncertain uncertain etiology. It is characterized by fusion of the lower limbs and commonly associated with severe urogenital and gastrointestinal malformation. In this report, we describe the first case of an infant with sirenomelia and a massive angiomatous lumbosacral myelocystocele. © 2004 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved.
