    Summary

    This study describes two cases of sirenomelia, a rare congenital anomaly. The findings suggest a complex link between sirenomelia, VATER association, and identical twinning, possibly rooted in early mesodermal development.

    Background:

    • Sirenomelia (mermaid syndrome) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by fusion of the lower limbs.
    • The VATER association is a complex of malformations affecting multiple organ systems.
    • Both conditions have been linked to disruptions in early embryonic development.
