The World

Sirenomelia, alternatively known as Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid's tail. This syndrome was originally stated by Rocheas and Palfya in 16th century. It occurs in about 1 in 100,000 live births. It is also associated with multiple anomalies like renal agenesis, ambiguous external genitalia, imperforate anus, blind intestinal loop and single umbilical artery. Occasionally double inferior Venacava, dextrocardia and angiomatous lumbosacral myelocystocele are reported as well. Most of the Sirenomelia come to an end as stillbirth. Only a few are born alive and survival beyond few hours after delivery is extremely rare. About 300 cases have been reported in the world literature so far.

Bone Structures

Sirenomelia is a very rare congenital anomaly. Type I is the mildest type, and the long bone structures are all normally present with only soft tissue fusion. We experienced a case of type I sirenomelia complicated by severe oligohydramnios. Because of severe oligohydramnios, ultrasonographic images were not very clear. The associated findings with sirenomelia (single umbilical artery and bilateral renal agenesis) were helpful for the prenatal diagnosis of this disease. Detailed sonographic examination of the fetus was thought to be necessary for the accurate prenatal diagnosis of sirenomelia.

Future Management

The article by Froehlich and Fujikura1 on the prognosis of single umbilical artery is a much needed and highly informative addition to the literature. It presents a great deal of information and some important implications as to future management. We question the mortality rates quoted. They are given as percentages, and include stillbirths and neonatal deaths, i.e., perinatal mortality. The figure given as the general mortality rate is 3.8% or 38 per 1,000 births. Previous figures cited for perinatal mortality in the United States have varied from approximately 19 per 1,000 to approximately 26 per 1,000.2-4 We wonder how the figure of 38 per 1,000 was determined.
