Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Congenital lower limb amelia is a rare birth defect.
  • Understanding the full spectrum of associated anomalies is crucial for patient management.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old dressmaker presented with congenital lower limb amelia.
  • Investigations revealed absence of the left sacrum, coccyx, ilium, ischium, and pubis.
  • Urography confirmed the absence of the left kidney.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited unilateral amelia associated with complex pelvic and sacral malformations.
  • Renal agenesis was noted on the affected side.
  • Ultrasonography identified the presence of the spleen.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation in congenital limb defects.
  • Such complex malformations require a multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive care.
  • Further research into the genetic and developmental pathways is warranted.
